"I need help finding recent demographic statistics."

You're in luck! The Census Bureau is starting to release data from the 2010 Census. You can find state and county statistics on population, race, and housing occupany on the   new American Factfinder site.  The new American Factfinder site contains information from the 2000 and 2010 Census only. The Census will move the older data to the new site when the old American Factfinder site goes away sometime in the Fall. In addition, the Census will be continually releasing data from the 2010 Census so there is more statistics to come.
