Ms. Tidmarsh,
You needn't bother with the answer to the subject
question. I found the answer on a Census fact page.
Information from the census is released to the public
72 years after the census is conducted. Therefore the
2000 census data will be available in the 2072. I will make
a footnote so I don't forget <smile>.
