With the release on March 8th of the new Redistricting data, the Census 2010 data is finally here! To follow up from our recent look at the African-American population across the Bay Area we are providing some preliminary maps that highlight the changes between the 2000 and 2010 Census.

The first images can be opened by clicking on them directly and a popup should appear, you can then scroll back and forth between the 2000 and 2010 maps for easy visual comparison.

The US Census Bureau just released the first reliable Census data in 10 years. Take a look below at the new 2010 Census Redistricting data below!

The Bay Area has seen many changes in the past twenty years, changes in the housing stock, in the education sector, in the employment opportunities and the industries based here, in the workforce development arena, in economic development activities, and in the demographics of its populace. Long recognized as a multi-cultural region with rich ethnic communities tied to established neighborhoods, the diversity of the Bay Area has changed constantly, with no ethnic group remaining demographically static over the past two decades. For organizations and individuals involved in serving and supporting the Black and African-American communities in the Bay Area, it is important to understand the changes that are impacting these communities and how these populations themselves are changing. This report examines the State of the Race: an analysis of the changing Black community in the Bay Area and begins to present data and information pertinent to the philanthropic, community building, and governmental sectors.
This report sets out to answer four main questions posed by the Bay Area Blacks in Philanthropy (the commissioners and funders of this report).
