United States Census 2010

Posted 1/25/11

State Data Released

The U.S. Census Bureau has released 2010 Census population counts for Illinois and other states for purposes of redistricting congressional and state legislative districts. These counts include local-level summaries of population totals, as well as data on race and Hispanic origin. The 2010 Census redistricting data reported Moline's population count at 43,483. This marked a loss of 285 persons, or 0.7%, since the 2000 Census. Additional local data will be released later this year.

For More Information: For more information on the Census Bureau's Redistricting Data Program, visit http://www.census.gov/rdo and http://2010.census.gov/news/press-kits/redistricting.html. Follow The Census on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube (/uscensusbureau).

Moline Census 2010 - "Everybody Counts"

In order to accurately assess the number and location of the people living within the nation's borders, the U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The census population totals determine which states gain or lose representation in Congress. It also determines the amount of state and federal funding communities receive over the course of the decade. The facts about the nation's population gathered in the census will directly shape decisions and funding for public health, neighborhood improvements, transportation, education, senior services and much more.

The 2010 Census is a short-form only census and will count all residents living in the United States as well as ask for name, sex, age, date of birth, race, ethnicity, relationship and housing tenure - taking just minutes to complete. Forms should be filled out and returned to the U.S. Census in the postage-paid envelope.

Responses to the 2010 Census questionnaire are required, and protected, by Federal law. Census responses are used for statistical purposes only and are strictly confidential. For more information, visit the 2010 Census web site at http://www.census.gov/2010census/.
