Nebraska Population Reports Now Available
A new CPAR publication compiles state, county, and city population estimates as well as the components of population change such as births, deaths, and migration. Historical figures and trends and current sex and age pyramids by race and ethnicity show the dynamics among Nebraska’s population.
These publications are a one-stop shop for a wealth of current and historical information. Data in the current report supersedes previous releases. The historical report primarily contains information from decennial censuses, but does include some information from the Census Bureau's estimates program (data refers to July 1, 2006). This historical report will not be updated until after the 2010 Census.
Contact David Drozd on any questions: ddrozd@mail.unomaha.edu or 402-554-2132.

The 2005 Benson Residents Survey: Survey Report is now available.
In 2005, Omaha by Design partnered with the City of Omaha Planning Department, the Neighborhood Center for Greater Omaha, and the University of Nebraska at Omaha to help facilitate the formation of an alliance in the Benson area to create a comprehensive development plan. An alliance of neighborhood associations, community organizations, and business groups in the Benson area was formed to better influence public investment, identify housing needs, determine the form of development and renovation in the area, and promote the community’s economic and social vitality. This effort is officially referred to as the Benson-Ames Alliance.
Faculty and staff from the College of Public Affairs and Community Service and graduate students from the Urban Studies Program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) engaged in several sets of activities as part of the Benson-Ames Alliance project. The 2005 Benson Residents Survey: Summary Report is a report on one of these activities--a neighborhood survey of a random sample of alliance area residents.
