ALBANY -- New Yorkers can now search right down to the census tract for incidences of new cancer, though officials strongly caution against people jumping to conclusions that something shown on an interactive map contributes to a neighborhood's cancer rate.
Getting the truth out is never a bad thing, and that's all this is," said Assemblyman Richard L. Brodsky, a Westchester Democrat, who along with Sen. Thomas W. Libous, a Binghamton Republican, pushed to have the cancer information released.

The Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau) delineates urban areas after each decennial census for the purpose of tabulating and presenting data for the urban and rural population and housing within the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas.\1\ The Census Bureau delineates urbanized areas \2\ and urban clusters \3\ primarily on the basis of residential population density measured at the census tract and census block levels of geography, but also based on additional criteria that account for patterns of non-residential development as outlined in the urban area criteria published in the Federal Register on August 24, 2011 (76 FR 53030).\4\ This Notice provides the list of urbanized areas and urban clusters that qualified based on results of the 2010 Census of Population and Housin...

CINCINNATI - The nation's newfound concern for income inequality and economic justice is old hat on the streets of Cincinnati's Over- the-Rhine neighborhood. For the last 40 years, crime, resident flight, unemployment and inadequate housing have made this poverty- stricken area the city's most downtrodden and feared neighborhood.
So when a new Census Bureau report found that from 2005 to 2009, a segment of Over-the-Rhine - Census Tract 17 - had the highest income inequality of more than 61,000 communities nationwide, it seemed to make perfect sense.
