New York Community and Subcounty Population Change
| Western NY City Population Change
|
|
For Census 2000 (1990 Census) there were 1,050 (969) "places" in the
State of New York which were mapped and for which data were tabulated.
A "place" is either 1) a legally incorporated under the laws of its respective State
or 2) a statistical equivalent that the Census Bureau treats as a census designated
place (CDP). Each State enacts laws and regulations for establishing
incorporated places. The Census Bureau designates criteria of total population
size, population density, and geographic configuration for delineating CDPs.
The map at the right shows 1990-2000 population change for western New York state cities.
The red boundary shows counties located in the Erie 1 BOCES.

Proximity workshops (see Lockport, NY example)
provide instruction on accessing and using these data.

contact us to schedule a workshop for your area.
Census Designated Places are often as well known as incorporated cities.
The number of CDPs was greatly expanded by the Census Bureau between 1990 and 2000.
The map at the right shows 1990-2000 population change for western New York state CDPs.
Compare the map at right to the map above it. Note that the incoporated city and CDP areas are mutually exclusive.
Both Buffalo and Rochester cities are somewhat surrounded by CDPs.
As an example of interpretation of the maps, it is easy to see in these maps that the CDPs adjacent to Buffalo lost
a larger percentage of population between 1990 and 2000 as compared to the CDPs adjacent to
Rochester.

Schools and Places. The combined set of cities and CDPs are shown in the map at the right.
This map also shows school locations as blue icons.
A related description of mapping New York State schools is located at

Details are clearer if you click on the map and view a larger version (and then expand that browser window).
A view of the same region without the schools is available
in this map.
Post-Census 2000 Population Estimates.
Census Bureau post-census sub-county population estimates (see
http://proximityone.com/places.htm) do not include CDPs with exception of Honolulu, HI.
This situation complicates post-Census 2000 trend analysis for areas such as the Buffalo-Niagara Falls
MSA. See post-Census 2000 Niagara County, NY annual estimates
and trends for sub-county areas included in the updates.
| Buffalo, NY Urbanized Area
|
|
In the new OMB classifications of "Core-Based Statistical Areas" (CBSA), CBSA principal areas
may include Census Designated Places. For example, the principal cities of the
Buffalo-Niagara Falls, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area are
Buffalo (city),
Cheektowaga (CDP),
Tonawanda (CDP),
and Niagara Falls (city).
While Census-sourced July 1, 2003 population estimates are available for Buffalo and Niagara Falls, the
updates are not available for Cheektowaga or Tonawanda.
The map at the right shows the Buffalo, NY urbanized area (blue boundary, blue fill).
This is the urbanized area associated with the two counties (Niagara and Buffalo) that comprise
the Buffalo-Niagara Falls, NY metropolitan statistical area.
All places are superimposed.
Named places are the principal cities.
