The long-awaited first installment of the results of the 2000 U. S. Census have been made public, providing communities with detailed snapshots of population changes since the last census in 1990.
In addition to giving local governments information for future planning, the numbers will be used by state legislators to determine new, voting districts across the state.
This wealth of information — which will be added-to as further analyses are completed during the; year — is now available online at www.census.gov.
For organizational purposes, the; U. S. was broken down into 3410 distinct entities, mostly by counties and independent cities. The code for Virginia is “51,” and the code used for Rappahannock County is “51117.”
