NOTES ON DATA AND THE NJSDC

The 2000 Census counts presented in this book are based on the PL94-171 (redistricting) data released on March 8, 2001.

The NJSDC

The New Jersey State Data Center (NJSDC) prepared this report. The NJSDC is a cooperative project of the State of New Jersey and the US Census Bureau. Serving data users in the public, private and academic sectors, the NJSDC has three main objectives:

To expand access to and use of census and other statistics To provide technical assistance and analytical support in the use of these statisticsTo provide user training on timely, census-related topics

The NJSDC Network consists of a network of over 120 state, county, regional and local agencies. The lead agency is housed within the Division of Labor Market and Demographic Research, New Jersey Department of Labor. A complete NJSDC contact list can be found on the web at http://www.state.nj.us/labor/lra/. Once on the site, click on the NJSDC Logo for more information about the NJSDC.

A variety of statistical reports from State and Federal agencies may be accessed through the NJSDC network. Most statistics are from the US Bureau of the Census’ regular and special censuses and surveys. The NJSDC will publish New Jersey data fromthe 2000 Census of population and housing when they are available on a flow basis. Data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis and the State and sub-state demographic and economic data prepared/compiled by the New Jersey Department of Labor are also available through the NJSDC.

These data are made available in either printed reports or on the Internet. Users of the New Jersey Department of Labor’s Labor Fast Facts website have access to up-to-date publicly available data for New Jersey in multiple electronic formats. The web address is http://www.state.nj.us/labor/lra/.

The Report

This report presents New Jersey resident population by county (1880 – 2000) and municipalities (1930 – 2000). Changes between 1980 and 1990 and 1990 and 2000 are also included. Population densities are also presented for the State (1920 – 2000), counties (1930 – 2000) and municipalities (1940 – 2000). This report also contains United States resident population by state from 1790 to 2000.

PL94-171 (Redistricting) Data

Data presented in this report are based on the Decennial Censuses of Population & Housing, 1790 to 2000. As of May 1, 2001 one data set is available from Census 2000, the PL94-171 (redistricting) data.

The objective of the PL94-171 data is to meet the requirements of Public Law 94-171. Under the provisions of the law, the Census Bureau was required to provide each governor and the majority and minority leaders of each state legislature with Census 2000population totals for counties, American Indian areas, cities, towns, county subdivisions, census tracts, block groups, and blocks within a year following Census Day (e.g. April 1, 2001). New Jersey also received data for local voting districts, state legislative districts and congressional districts. These Census 2000 Public Law 94-171 Redistricting Data include population totals by race, Hispanic or Latino origin, and voting age.

Data Definitions

Resident Population – Resident population includes those residing in New Jersey but excludes overseas military and federal civilian employees and their dependents livingwith them who could not be allocated to a state.

Population Density – A statistic expressing the number of persons per unit of area. In this report, the population density = resident population/the 2000 land area in square miles for each geographic area.
