U.S. Census Bureau Director Robert Groves will brief the media on the release of the 2010 Demographic Analysis estimates. The Census Bureau will release five series of national-level estimates of the population by age, sex, two race groups (black and non-black) and Hispanic origin (for under age 20). Demographic Analysis estimates are developed from historical vital statistics and estimates of international migration. Although not 2010 Census counts, these estimates provide one way of measuring the size of the U.S. population and will be used to analyze the 2010 Census results. The briefing will include a media question-and-answer session.

Following the news conference, there will be a technical meeting about Demographic Analysis, which will include Census Bureau staff and other experts in the field. Members of the media are invited to attend.

Monday, Dec. 6, 10 to 11 a.m. (EST)
