Definition:
Resident Population--
In Census 2000, people were
counted at their "usual residence", a principle followed in each census since
1790. Usual residence has been defined as the place where the person lives and
sleeps most of the time. This place is
not necessarily the same as the person's voting residence or legal
residence.
Noncitizens who are living in the United States are
included, regardless of their immigration status.
Persons
temporarily away from their usual residence, such as on vacation or on a
business trip on Census Day, were counted at their usual residence. People who
live at more than one residence during the week, month, or year were counted at
the place where they live most of the year. People without a usual residence,
however, were counted where they were staying on Census
Day
Percent Change-- The difference between the 1990 total resident
population and the 2000 total resident population divided by the 1990 total
resident population.
