2010 Census maps - population change by county (as state maps are released) (credit, schools)

The US Census is gradually releasing its redistricting data for the states, and this includes county/parish-level populations.

Redistricting Data, First Look at Local 2010 Census Results

The Census department is producing maps of each state which show population gains or losses at the county level between 2000 and 2010. What do you make of them? Any surprises?

What type of factories were those, and why was the rapid decline so sudden there?
