Barbara SchlomanLibraries & Media Services
Session Objectives
• Finding two main categories of statistics: Demographic, Vital/health
• Caveats: – Varying currency– Levels of detail
• yes: country, state, county• sometimes: city, community
American Factfinder: Types of Information through the Fact Sheet
• General characteristics (population, age, ethnicity, race)
• Social characteristics (education, ancestry)
• Economic characteristics (income, poverty)
• Housing characteristics
Race CategoriesThe Census 2000 data on race were taken from answers to the question on
race that was asked of all people. The race data yield seven basic categories:
White alone Black or African American alone American Indian and Alaska Native alone Asian alone Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone Some Other Race alone Two or more races
The two or more races category includes all respondents who reported two or more races, such as "White and Asian" and "White and Asian and Black or African American".
Ethnic Groups
For Census 2000 there are two minimum categories for ethnicity: Hispanic or Latino and Not Hispanic or Latino.
The federal government considers race and Hispanic origin to be two separate and distinct concepts. Hispanics and Latinos may be of any race.
