From my perch right now, I perceive this event as the culmination of millions of hours of people’s time. This data release includes the time invested by each respondent who spent about 10 minutes completing the 2010 census form. It includes over a million census staff members who visited housing units throughout the country to collect census data. It includes millions of people working as our volunteer partners, getting the word out to their communities about the value of participating in the census.
Congress has charged the Census Bureau with doing the arithmetic to compute the number of Members in the U.S. House of Representatives, and we’ll present this report on Tuesday. I encourage you to view this nifty video about how the computation of apportionment is done.
The event announcement will not contain much information; we will announce the official national population count. We will report the state resident population for all states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. We report the total populations for these groups, reflecting the federal agency staffs that are assigned to non-U.S. stations for which their parent agencies have provided counts.
