Description:

Abstract:

This data product was created by combing the spatial information from the 2010 TIGER/Line county shapefiles with the tabular data on population and race from the 2010 U.S. Census. The population and race data are taken from the 2010 Census Summary File 1 question P10 , race for the population 18 years and over, by county.

Purpose:

This data product is intended for use in coastal and marine spatial planning activities.
