New data toys at the Census Bureau website

Just are reminder,the 2010 Census Summary File 1, which provides a number of detailed tables from the 2010 Census on age, sex, households, families, relationship to householder, housing units, detailed race and Hispanic or Latino origin groups and group quarters is now available for Utah. Most tables are shown down to the block or census tract level. Summary File 1 is also the first 2010 Census release to include statistics for ZIP code tabulation areas. You can access the data from the file by clicking here.

Also, data for Utah has been added to the Census Bureau's interactive population map. Here you can map population down to the block level. Here's a sample map of Washington County Population down to the Census Block Group level. To access the interactive map, click here. Be prepared to play around with the program to get exactly what you want!

Finally, the New York Times has an interesting interactive map that maps population change for counties across the U.S.
