Centre of Population

Question

I have a researcher interested in mean and median centre of provincial and national populations, but not population figures - geospatial information.

One of the items the US produces in conjunction with its census is geographic information on the center of population <http://www.census.gov/2010census/data/center-of-population.php>. Do we produce anything similar to the maps or the data files (lat/long) which the US Census Bureau provides <http://www.census.gov/geo/www/2010census/centerpop2010/centerpop2010.html>?

Answer
No, we do not produce anything similar to this.
