Part A provides an overview with selected national data for all available years from the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Bureau of Economic AnalysisPart B includes a similar selection of data for the 50 states and the District of Columbia.Part C shows the population of each county from the date of its origins through the 2010 census. Detailed information about the origins of all states and counties is includedPart D presents the largest cities for each of the 23 censuses between 1790 and 2010, as well as a table showing the historical populations of all cities with populations of 100,000 or more in 2010.
In addition to Parts A, B, C, and D, a section titled "The United States through the Decades" is included highlighting important events in the United States in each decade from 1790 to 2010.
This edition also includes several figures on topics such as population growth through the decades, foreign-born residents, fastest-growing counties from 1790 to 2010, life expectancy through the years, and per capita income.

With increased life expectancy and lower birth rates, the proportion had grown to 13 percent by 2010.The 1900 census showed that Wyoming, Montana, and Nevada had 150 men for every 100 women. In 2010, the ratio was 96.7 men for every 100 women at the national level.Mississippi had the lowest per-capita income throughout the 80-year time period between 1930 and 2010.From 1910 to 1920, Los Angeles experienced growth from Hollywood's dominance in the film industry.
