The Census Atlas is a large-format publication about 300 pages long and containing almost 800 maps. Data from decennial censuses prior to 2000 support nearly 150 maps and figures, providing context and an historical perspective for many of the topics presented. A variety of topics are covered in the Census Atlas, ranging from language and ancestry characteristics to housing patterns and the geographic distribution of the population. A majority of the maps in the Census Atlas present data at the county level, but data also are sometimes mapped by state, census tract (for largest cities and metropolitan areas), and for selected American Indian reservations. The book is modern, colorful, and includes a variety of map styles and data symbolization techniques.</p> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/29869 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/29869 <h2>Seeing The Numbers: NYC</h2> <p>We continue our series with <strong class="guest">Marc Perry</strong>, Chief of the Population Distribution Branch at the U.S. Census, on the new Census Atlas of the United States.
