Data begins to arrive from 2010 census
Updated 6:15 p.m.:
Champaign and Urbana's populations grew by double-digit percentage points between 2000 and 2010, according to figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
And some of the smaller towns near C-U grew by even more.
Savoy, St. Joseph, Mahomet and Tolono all grew at a faster pace than the 20 percent increase in Champaign's population and the 13 percent in Urbana.
The census data will be used to redraw congressional boundaries in the state, which will lose one congressional district.
Among the facts in the new data is that Champaign County now is the 10th most populous county in Illinois. That's up two spaces from the 2000 census.
