The 178-page report is based on analysis data from the Census Bureau from the 2010 Census and the latest estimates from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The report provides a basis for understanding the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of Columbia and its villages.
“This report provides important data sets that can aid Columbia Association and the villages in tailoring programs and facilities, as well as help them advocate for the needs of the Columbia community,” said Jane Dembner, CA’s director of community building and sustainability.
