The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, today launched a new Census 2010feature on its website. This feature provides state and county population data by Hispanic origin in 2010 and 2000 in the form of downloadable Excel files. Each file contains the total, non-Hispanic and Hispanic populations in each state and counties within that state. Numeric and percent changes in the populations from 2000 to 2010 are also included.

Beginning February 3, 2011, the Census Bureau has issued Census 2010 population counts for the states on a staggered basis. The process is expected to be completed by April 1, 2011. As new state population counts become available, they will be added to the Center’s Census 2010 feature.

Currently, downloadable Excel files are available for the states of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.

The Census 2010 feature is available at the Pew Hispanic Center’s website, www.pewhispanic.org.

The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, is a nonpartisan, non-advocacy research organization based in Washington, D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.
