Description:

Abstract:

This data set includes U.S. Census Bureau population information for the United States and Puerto Rico, presented by county. These data are from the 2000 Census and include total population counts, population density values, gender and age statistics, various statistics on race and ethnicity distributions, and population change between 1990 and 2000. This is a revised version of the August, 2002, data set, with additional data fields included.

Purpose:

These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Supplemental_Information:

To create maps that are similar to the maps in the National Atlas <http://nationalatlas.gov/natlas/natlasstart.asp>, ce2000t.dbf can be joined to the 2000 county boundaries available from the National Atlas download page, <http://nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html>.
