Based on data collected during the American Community Survey from 2006 to 2010, the county-to-county migration tables give added information on the paths of the 17.3 million people who moved to another county. The tables provide the current county of residence, the county of residence one year ago and the estimated number of movers between the counties. Additional tables provide the same information broken down by selected characteristics: age, sex, race or Hispanic origin.
The Census Bureau has developed its first beta version of an online mapping tool called Census Flows Mapper. It is an interactive application that allows users to select a county in the U.S. and view the outbound, inbound and net migration flows for that county. Additionally, users can choose flows based on characteristics such as age, sex, race or Hispanic origin. The application also allows users to download the data for the flow they have selected, zoom in and out on the map to an area of interest, view additional statistics of the selected county and print their map to a PDF file.

The Census Bureau's CPH-2, 2010 Census of Population and Housing, report series has been fully posted on our website. The series provides population and housing unit counts information based on governmental jurisdiction. Land area measurements and population density are also provided. Jurisdiction relational maps at the end of each edition illustrate each state's political geography as viewed by the Census Bureau. The maps use linework, color, and type fonts to show the differences between county, minor civil division, New England towns, incorporated places and census-designated places. When printed out, these summary tables make an easily referenced paper booklet to have at hand. The reports may be accessed at the following site:

The first Guide to State and Local Census Geography (1990 CPH-I-18) was issued in June 1993 as a joint venture between the US Census Bureau and the Association of Public Data Users (APDU). The book contained an overview of census geography and had information about key geographic concepts for each state as it related to the 1990 Census.
The US Census Bureau updated this publication based on geography for the 2010 Census and is making it available as a web publication. The format of this publication is similar to the 1993 publication in that it has information about the census geography of each state
