The <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/2010.census.gov\/\">Census Bureau website<\/a> has detailed information and a schedule of new releases. But what if you just want to quickly download population figures and do some simple comparisons?<\/p>\n<p>A new project by <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ire.org\/\">Investigative Reporters and Editors<\/a> and the <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rjionline.org\/\">Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute<\/a> at the University of Missouri offers quick access to 2010 Census data in a variety of formats and ranges. The <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/census.ire.org\/\">project<\/a>, built by volunteers from the <em>Chicago Tribune<\/em>, <em>New York Times<\/em>, <em>USA Today<\/em>, CNN, <em>Spokesman-Review<\/em> (Spokane, Wash.) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, allows users to browse data from states, counties, places and even individual tracts, providing 2000 Census data for comparison.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/census.ire.org\/data\/12001.html\">data from Alachua County, Fla.<\/a>, shows that the total population grew some 13.48 percent from 2000 to 2010 (the project helpfully includes raw numbers and the percentage change). And each page can be downloaded as a CSV file that can be opened in Excel or another spreadsheet program for analysis, although you&#8217;d be best-served to have a reference to Census data headers handy. Luckily, the IRE Census project <a target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/raw.github.com\/ireapps\/census\/master\/tools\/metadata\/sf1_labels.csv\">provides one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Developers who want to use Census data directly in Intranet or Internet applications can also get their fix via the project&#8217;s <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/census.ire.org\/docs\/json.html\">JSONP files<\/a>, which make it easy to read the data programmatically. You can even download a shapefile of geographic data, and the project allows you to compare multiple geographies (such as a five-county area) if you want to.<\/p>\n<p>The Census Bureau is still your source for reports and in-depth releases based on the 2010 Census data, but if you want to play with the data yourself and don&#8217;t want to download the entire set (which can be very large and hard to manage), IRE&#8217;s project is a great way to dip your toes in the Census pool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Derek Willis<br \/>\n<a style=\"position: absolute;
