Over the past four years, the Russell Sage Foundation's U.S. 2010 project has sponsored high-quality, peer-reviewed research on key social and economic trends in American life revealed by the 2010 census and related national surveys. The results of this initiative are now available on our U.S. 2010 website, which includes two main resources:

• Briefs and Reports: More than a dozen research teams across the United States have released studies on recent developments in immigration, segregation, wealth and education. Click here to read the briefs and reports.

This chart, taken from Edward N. Wolff's report on Americans' personal wealth, shows that the median net worth fell a staggering 47 percent between 2007 and 2010. It is an example of the rich variety of indicators and research available on the U.S. 2010 website.

• Data: The website currently provides measures of segregation and neighborhood characteristics for cities, counties, and metropolitan areas defined by 2010 Census boundaries. Additional variables will be added in the coming months. Click here to access the data.
  
  Another key product for researchers is the Longitudinal Tract Database (LTDB), which provides public-use tools to create estimates within 2010 tract boundaries for any tract-level data (from the census or other sources) that are available for prior years as early as 1970.
