ITS ROLE IN PLANNING OUR CITY
U.S. Census
The information gathered by the U.S. Census is vital to the City’s planning efforts. We use this information to determine how to allocate funds, where to construct and fix roads and sidewalks, and where to place emergency services. The Census data also helps the City ensure these services are allocated fairly and equitably.
LEVELS OF DATA
Census TractThe largest level of data that divides a county. A tract contains 2,500 to 8,000 people.
Census BlockA block is the smallest level of data and is usually the size of a city block. Due to anonymity concerns, most of the information collected is withheld.
WHAT IS THE CENSUS?
WHY IS THE CENSUS IMPORTANT?
The information gathered during the Census is used to allocate over $675 billion each year in Federal funds, grants, and support to states, counties and communities. These funds are used to fix roads, build hospitals, fund schools, and allocate emergency services. Private businesses use the information in the Census to research and decide where to build offices, where to revitalize neighborhoods, and where demand for new stores exists, to name a few.
The United States Census is a Constitutionally-mandated count of all people living in the United States that occurs every 10 years. The Census questionnaire contains a number of questions asking respondents to report basic demographic information like age, race and gender.
A similar report, the American Community Survey, is completed annually. Unlike the Census, the ACS is sent to randomly selected individuals who are asked to answer more specific questions including commute times, educational attainment, and employment status.
Census data can be calculated at a number of levels including state, county and place. To be able to use the data in more fine-detail, the Census has created three smaller levels which allow us to better understand our community.
Census Block GroupA divison of Census Tracts that contains a number of city blocks. A block group contains 600 to 3,000.

Basic Demographics
The goal of the Population Element is to get to know who lives in Columbia and begin to identify their unique needs and identities.
In keeping with national trends, Columbia’s population over 50 years old has grown since 1990. The City’s college-aged population has similarly grown over the same time.Does the City have amenities that appeal to all ages? What’s missing?

The projected population for the Central Midlands region as prepared by the Central Midlands Council of Governments. The City of Columbia’s projected population is based on the historic annual growth pattern of 1.5% growth per year.Should the City actively market Columbia as the place to move to the new residents coming to the Midlands? What would be the best way to do that?
