GEORGIA 2000 ADDS 2000 CENSUS AND 2005 DEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTION DATA TO INTERACTIVE REPORTING WEB SITEUGA Office of Information Technology Outreach Services. July 16, 2001.The Georgia 2000 Information System, a free online service providing public access to statistical information about Georgia and the Southeast, has released Census 2000 data and demographic projections for 2005. The first round of new Census information to be included in the site's databases covers the highly anticipated figures on race and ethnicity. More data from the Census Bureau will be added as it becomes available over the next two years. Information Technology Outreach Services (ITOS), which developed and maintains Georgia 2000, also staffs the Legislative Redistricting Services Office in Atlanta. A newly added section of the Web site provides digital maps and detailed information on the demographics of existing and proposed legislative districts. Also included in the site are projections from CACI Marketing Systems for 2005 for basic demographics such as age, gender, and income distribution. Georgia 2000, a non-fee service of The University of Georgia, allows anyone with a Web browser to create custom maps and reports printable from the desktop. As Census 2000 results are released, more recent data and projections are being added to provide a more up-to-date and complete picture of our state. Georgia 2000 is a product of UGA's Public Service and Outreach branch. As a land- and sea-grant University, UGA has a mission to bring the benefits of its research and instruction to all Georgians. In the opinion of ITOS director Dr. William Bell, projects such as these, which provide public access to information, will be a critical factor in ensuring that economic development reaches all areas of the state. The Georgia 2000 site, which developed from an earlier project to provide information to government agencies, now serves many sectors in the public and private arenas. City planners, elected official, educators, entrepreneurs, families and businesses moving to or within Georgia, and countless others use the system every day to make critical decisions, both small and large.
