STEVE EMBER: The Census Bureau has many experts who study the information collected about the population.
Marc Perry is a demographer and chief of the population distribution branch. He says the Census Bureau began releasing more detailed information about each state last month. Census findings will continue to be released throughout the year.
MARC PERRY: "We’re slowly putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Right now it’s very incomplete; you can’t really get a sense of the national picture. But as more and more of those states get filled in, we’ll be able to see things."
FAITH LAPIDUS: The Census Bureau website recently launched an interactive map widget showing local population counts. Users can see population totals and county population changes from nineteen sixty through twenty ten.
The state-by-state information is not yet complete, but Marc Perry says demographers found a clear trend in population growth.
MARC PERRY: "The big pattern overall within the United States is the fastest population growth is in the South and the West."
FAITH LAPIDUS: Most other parts of the country including the Northeast and Midwest had low levels of population growth. This census count marked the first time in American history that the western part of the country had a bigger population than the Midwest.
MARC PERRY: "Michigan’s population actually declined. That was the only state that lost population across the decade.”
