The University of Virginia's Demographic Research Group offers a number of resources that may be of interest to social science researchers, journalists, grant writers, and others. While some of the group's research centers on the state of Virginia, the group also publishes analyses and reports regarding demographic trends in the United States. These resources include the United State Interactive Map, which provides a helpful visualization of the state population as of the 2010 census and projected state populations in 2020 and 2030. Similarly, the Racial Dot Map (featured in the 08-30-2013 Scout Report), provides a visualization of racial demographic information from the 2010 census. The publications section contains a variety of published reports as well Stat Ch@t, the Demographic Research Group's blog. Recently published reports address topics such as poverty rates in Virginia college towns, health demographics in Virginia, and an analysis of how metropolitan areas are changing.
