The Census Bureau is complementing the American FactFinder with a very nice set of
comparison tables. These tables were released this past Monday, April 2nd.
These are helpful if you're looking at metropolitan areas, counties and places
100,000+ population ranked by 2000 total population. Tables give 1990 population as well,
and also provide tables on areas ranked by population change and percent population
change.
You can get these comparison tables by going to American FactFinder at:
http://factfinder.census.gov/
Then, click on "Census 2000 Special Tables and Reports"; then, click on
"List of Tables" and you're there. Or, try this URL:

(Trying to find Census 2000 data is like an Easter Egg Hunt. You gotta know when to look,
and where the good ones are hidden ;-)
