- Abstract The once-a-decade decennial census was conducted in April 2010 by the U.S. Census Bureau. This count of every resident in
the United States was mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and all households in the U.S. and individuals
living in group quarters were required by law to respond to the 2010 Census questionnaire. The data collected by the decennial
census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to distribute billions
in federal funds to local communities. The questionnaire consisted of a limited number of questions but allowed for the collection
of information on the number of people in the household and their relationship to the householder, an individual's age, sex,
race and Hispanic ethnicity, the number of housing units and whether those units are owner- or renter-occupied, or vacant.
The first wave of results for sub-state geographic areas in New Mexico was released on March 15, 2011, through the Redistricting
Data (PL94-171) Summary File. This batch of data covers the state, counties, places (both incorporated and unincorporated
communities), tribal lands, school districts, neighborhoods (census tracts and block groups), individual census blocks, and
other areas. The Redistricting products provide counts by race and Hispanic ethnicity for the total population and the population
18 years and over, and housing unit counts by occupancy status. The 2010 Census Redistricting Data Summary File can be used
to redraw federal, state and local legislative districts under Public Law 94-171. This is an important purpose of the file
and, indeed, state officials use the Redistricting Data to realign congressional and state legislative districts in their
states, taking into account population shifts since the 2000 Census. More detailed population and housing characteristics
were released in the summer of 2011. The data in this particular RGIS Clearinghouse table is for all Block Groups in Sierra
County. The table provides total counts population.
- Purpose To provide data for the total population in Sierra County.
- Supplemental Information This particular table provides data for Sierra County as a whole and all block groups in the county. The table labeled DC10_00545
