The Census Bureau released new information today from the long-form questionnaire, given to roughly one in six households nationally. The numbers are estimates derived from statistical sampling.

The numbers show that more Floridians graduated high school and made more money in 2000 than they did in 1990. And, during the decade, a third more Floridians were actually born in Florida instead of somewhere else.

But the boom wasn't equally good for everyone.

In the Tampa Bay area, Pasco, Manatee and Citrus county's median household incomes grew faster than Hernando, Hillsborough, Pinellas and Sarasota counties. But people in Sarasota and Hillsborough counties made more money -- as much as $8,000 a year more -- than other bay area counties.

Complete analysis of the new Census 2000 data and how it compares to 1990 will appear in Friday's St. Petersburg Times.
