Census 2000 was the largest peacetime effort in the history of the United States, providing information about the 115.9 million housing units and 281.4 million people across the nation.
Here in San Jose, Census 2000 determined the population to be 894,943 persons as of April 1, 2000, which figure represents an increase of 112,695 persons, or 14.4%, over the 1990-2000 time period. Since that time, the population of San Jose has grown by over 75,000 persons to become the Nation's 10th largest city.
NEW!
The American Community Survey (ACS) is a new nationwide survey conducted
by the Census Bureau designed to replace the existing decennial census "long form" in the 2010 Census. The ACS is a way to provide
estimates of demographic, housing, social, and economic characteristics
every year, instead of once in ten years.
Full implementation of the survey commenced in July 2004,
and includes three million households nationwide each year. Under
the current plan, population and housing profiles for 2005, the first
entire year of full implementation, will become available in 2006 for
places of 65,000 or more persons (including San Jose).
In successive years, estimates will become available for progressively
smaller geographic areas. Three-year average estimates will be available
in 2008, and five-year average estimates will be available in 2010 for
the smallest areas, such as census tracts. Thus, beginning in 2010, and
every year thereafter, the ACS will effectively replace the decennial
census long form and provide reliable data in a more timely manner.
To view the results of the 2006 ACS for the City of San Jose, you can download a data profile (released September 2007) in an Excel file format by clicking here.
