Those kids in the south have done it again! Wonder when our stats folks
will do the same! Oh! Woe is us!

The U.S. Census Grids (beta release) provide raster data sets that
include not only population and housing counts, but a wide variety of
socioeconomic characteristics. These gridded data sets transform
irregularly shaped census block and block group boundaries into a
regular surface – a raster grid – for faster and easier analysis. Data
sets are currently available for the year 2000. Data sets for 1990 will
be released in the near future.
