You may have noticed the U.S. Census Bureau delivered the official national and state population counts to the President yesterday. The U.S. Constitution mandates the data report on or before December 31st every ten years.
If you are wondering when we will learn the official counts for Rockville and Montgomery County, we need to wait until after January of next year. Since the District of Columbia was treated as a state, it was the only city to receive their population data.
As for Maryland, the official state population count used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives indicates there will be no change in the number of congressional representatives which is currently 8. Maryland’s population was counted as 5,773,552 which is a 9% increase since the last census. This makes Maryland the 7th densest state in the country with 594.8 people per square mile.
An interactive map showing the apportionment, density and populations of all states is here.
As a 2010 Census Media Partner, we look forward to finding out Rockville’s official count.
In the meantime, we can appease our data addiction by perusing the results of the many surveys conducted by the Census Bureau.
In particular, the American Community Survey provides social, economic, housing and demographic statistics for every community in the nation. The information was collected from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2009 consists of about 11.1 billion individual estimates and more than 670,000 distinct geographies. This is the first time there was such a massive compilation of data estimates for small geographic areas.
