This is exciting! Some of the 2010 Census data is already out and handily displayed for you: 2010 Census. So far just information on population change, population density, and apportionment are displayed in the cool widget, but hopefully more will follow. It's kind of neat knowing I contributed a very very very very very very very very very small fraction of the data, from my weeks of running around Berkeley, sneaking into apartment buildings, and knocking on strange doors. I'm looking forward to more of the data when it's released.
I can't say it was the most fun at work I've ever had... let's just say it was an experience. If you're interested in the kinds of questions I was asking people (and why they're asked by The Census), click on "Explore the 2010 Census Form".
