The Tennessee State Data Center Affiliates met virtually on Monday, December 14, 2020. The 2-hour virtual session included project updates from State Data Center staff and affiliate agency representatives about ongoing work across the state.
The timeline for the initial 2020 Census data products is beginning to fall into place. Release dates for the TIGER geographic products have been set, but a final determination of the timelines for 2020 apportionment counts and redistricting data is outstanding.
We’re excited to celebrate #GISday. The State Data Center uses Geographic Information System (GIS) technology almost every day to help communicate information about Tennessee, our communities and changes occurring across the state.
We used historic census data from the IPUMS National Historic GIS to look at some basic housing unit trends in Nashville/Davidson County including housing unit growth between 1990 and 2020 and changes to housing vacancy rates over the same period.
If you want to learn about using these data products for business planning, grant proposals, research projects, municipal planning and more, there are free resources and training available for Tennessee data users.
The conclusion of 2020 Census self-response and field operations is September 30th, but with just days to go, efforts to complete the count of Tennessee’s residents continue.
Registration is now open for the Tennessee State Data Center’s Fall Webinar Series. We’ve lined up a slate of three events focused on helping you be ready for next year’s 2020 Census data releases that are scheduled for March, 2021.
The September 30 deadline for collecting responses is now just 36 days away, and door-to-door field work by Census takers is underway across the state. While this signals that the end of the 2020 Census enumeration process is near, there is still work to do.
Door-to-door follow-up is now underway for homes that have not responded to the 2020 Census in Tennessee, and a new September 30 deadline has increased the urgency of getting all Tennesseans counted.
Population data is used to calculate infection rates and in cooperation with the Census Bureau, we’ve compiled new age data for all 95 Tennessee counties to help improve the accuracy of age-based COVID-19 rates.
