    Census 2010 redistricting data First impressions for New York State Jan K. Vink Program on Applied Demographics Cornell University March 24, 2011 Program on Applied Demographics Web: http://pad.human.cornell.edu Email: [email protected] About Cornell Program on Applied Demographics The Program on Applied Demographics (PAD) brings skills in demographics, economics, statistics, data gathering and data analysis together to provide a variety of organizations with data, information and advice. PAD works closely with the New York State Department of Economic Development, the U.S. Census Bureau and other organizations to assist them in their activities. 2 Summary On March 24, 2011 the U.S. Census Bureau released Census 2010 redistricting data for New York State. This data gives detailed race information for the total population and voting age population down to the block level. Future products releases will give more insight in other demographic changes. This document details some first impressions of the demographic changes in New York State in the last decade. The major conclusions: New York State gained just over 400,000 people during the decade, a growth of 2.1%. During the 90’s the State population gained 5.5%, meaning we saw a slow-down in the growth of the total population. This growth fell far behind the growth of the total U.S. population of 9.7%. With the 2.1% growth New York ranked 47 amongst all the states. New York lost two seats in the House of Representatives. The growth in the states was not evenly among counties and NY’s ten economic districts.

The revitalization plan will include the renovation and adaptive reuse of buildings and historic properties into high- density mixed-use developments, improving the walkability of downtown Watertown, providing corridors of commerce leading to anchor institutions and employers, and capitalizing on the City’s unique riverfront setting. Objectives to enhance the downtown area include preserving a City Center that serves as the primary venue for community and cultural events, providing employment opportunities for business owners and workers and providing goods and services for residents and visitors.
