Redistricting
Data Guide (2010)
The Census
Bureau has released an informational brochure, called “Strength
in Numbers”, that explains where census numbers
come from and the role those numbers have in the way the City
of San Jose will redraw its Council District boundaries. In
particular, the brochure looks at the maps and numbers that
the City will receive from the Census Bureau as a part of
Census 2010 and use in redistricting.

Overview
of Race and Hispanic Origin (2010)
The Census
Bureau has released an informational brochure, called “Overview
of Race and Hispanic Origin”, that looks at our
nation’s changing racial and ethnic diversity, and also
provides an overview of race and ethnicity concepts and definitions
used in Census 2010. The brochure notes that redistricting
data “does not contain data for detailed Hispanic origin
groups (e.g., Mexican or Puerto Rican) or detailed information
about race or tribes (e.g., Chinese, Samoan, or Choctaw).”
