The report provides insights into Maine\u2019s population growth, demographics, households, and housing over the past two decades. With funding from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the team analyzed data from the 2010 Census of Population and Housing and the 2006-2010 American Community Survey, as well as supplemental data from the Internal Revenue Service and New England Economic Partnership to demonstrate how Maine is changing as a state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2010 Census shows that many of the stories we have told about Maine\u2019s population are no longer as clear as they once were,\u201d said Charlie Colgan, who directed the project. \u201cInland and northern counties saw more population growth than in the 1990s, and coastal counties\u2019 growth slowed, in some cases dramatically. Maine is becoming more ethnically diverse everywhere, and our aging population is driven as much by a lack of young people as an abundance of old people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report is available online from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.umaine.edu\/sustainabilitysolutions\/sustainability_science\/SSI_projects_yr1\/colgan_et_al.htm\" target=\"_blank\">SURP webpage<\/a>.
