The US Census Bureau thread

[pesto]

What reflects the "resurgence" of the city is the expansion of governement projects, agencies and bureaucrats; private businessmen, lobbyists, lawyers, economists, consultants, PR specialists, ad men, influence peddlers; non-governement organizations dependent on government grants (which are in effect more lobbyists trying to get funds out of the government for every possible cause, left or right, good or bad, sensible or just plain ridiculous).

It will be interesting to see the future of this new set of young people. Arguably, Citizens United v. FEC could bring a whole new wave of these "influence peddlers" spending money to influence governement. Or, conversely, it could move the influence seekers back out to the rest of the country, since going direct to the public with a message will be easier than trying to influence bureaucrats in DC, who are pretty much already networked in to the biggest lobbyists.

Thanks for the hard work.

There probably some states on the east coast that have very significant numbers of people of Dominican nationality. I would think New York state has well over 500K, probably that number in New York City alone.

Center of U.S. Population Moves West


http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/...ves-west-1671/

The center of the United States' population isn't in a big city like New York, Los Angeles or Chicago. No, based on 2010 U.S. Census data, the village of Plato, Mo., has been declared as the center of the country's population. Plato's population? Just 109 people.

The Census Bureau determines the center of population as the place where an imaginary, flat, weightless and rigid map of the United States would balance perfectly if all 308,745,538 residents counted in the 2010 Census were of identical weight. The shift to Plato from nearby Edgar Springs, Mo., which was declared the center of the U.S. population in 2000, represents a continuation of the westward population shift.

Wow, DC is now more transient than ever.

[Urbanguy]

@ TexasBoi, you're welcome.

@ Antares41, most definitely! However, the Census only released data for a select amount of groups. I think a more comprehensive list will be released either at the end of the month or over the summer.

[Urbanguy]

Also, the Puerto Rican population's growth has slowed significantly in New York state -- I'd imagine that Florida's will surpass it before the next Census.

Urbanguy I live in Orlando now and I am surrounded by "boriquas"!

[Urbanguy]

^They've definitely spread out more when compared to previous Census results but Florida has seen the bulk of the population growth (+365,523) over the past ten years. Perhaps Florida is to blame for Puerto Rico's population decline?

BTW, why do so many gravitate to the Orlando area?

I'm surprised the article didn't mention this (of course, I don't know how accurate this graphic is), but it appears that the 2000-2010 movement of the population center is the shortest distance since 1930-1940. At some point this dot has to stabilize.... has it begun?

Incidentally, it would be somewhat fitting if the center of population kept moving toward Bentonville and stopped there -- the home of Wal-Mart.

NY May Bid Farewell to 36% of Young Residents


Read More: http://maristpoll.marist.edu/512-ny-...ung-residents/

PDF Report: http://maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-cont...d%20Tables.pdf

A sizeable proportion of New Yorkers, including more than one-third of those under age 30, may soon be sending out change of address notifications, but those new homes will not be in New York State. According to this NY1/YNN-Marist Poll, 26% of adults in New York State plan to move someplace else in the next five years while 67% say they will stay. Just 6% are unsure. Similar proportions of registered voters statewide share this view.

The picture is even bleaker when looking at the state’s youngest residents. 36% of New Yorkers under 30 years old report they will pack their bags and move to another state. 60%, however, say they will remain in the Empire State, and 3% are unsure. “New Yorkers are feeling the financial squeeze on the home front. Right now, many young people do not see their future in New York State,” says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “Unchecked, this threatens to drain the state of the next generation.”

Older New Yorkers are less likely to move out of New York State in the next five years. 26% of those 30 to 44, 29% of residents 45 to 59, and 16% of those 60 and older think they will switch their state of residence. Regionally, about one-third — 33% — of those in the suburbs of New York City, 26% of those upstate, and 24% of New York City residents report they will make their exit.

Key Findings Include:

Nearly seven in ten registered voters statewide — 69% — want property taxes to be capped so that they do not rise more than two percent annually. 26% do not, however, for fear that such a cap will cause cuts to local services or raise other taxes. Five percent are unsure. There has been relatively no change on this question since NY1/YNN-Marist last reported it in January.

More than three in four employed adults in New York State — 76% — say it would be either very difficult or difficult to find a similar job about the same distance from their home if they lost their current position. Included here are 46% who report it would be very difficult and 30% who say it would be difficult. 19%, though, don’t think it would be very difficult while 5% believe it would not be difficult at all.

When it comes to their overall personal family finances, more New York State voters think they will see a change in their family’s financial picture in the upcoming year. Currently, 47% believe their financial situation will stay about the same while a majority — 54% — thought that way in February. More than three in ten — 31% — expect their money matters to get better while 22% think they will get worse. In February, 27% believed an improvement was on the way while 19% expected their finances to diminish.

In Census, Evolving Families Make Manhattan Stand Out


http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/12/ny...hows.html?_r=1

Manhattan was the only borough in New York City to record an increase in the number of children under age 5 in the last decade as well as in the number of married couples with children, according to census figures released on Wednesday. Among five surrounding New York counties, only Rockland recorded such increases. Those were among the findings in the latest trove of data from the 2010 census.

The city was home to 29 percent more households consisting of unmarried partners and 10 percent fewer single mothers in 2010 than in 2000. While the total number of households with children declined and the number that included someone 65 or older increased, the age gap widened between New York City and residents of the rest of the state, who, taken together, are growing older at a faster rate.

Also, the city’s Puerto Rican population, still the dominant Hispanic group, slipped to its lowest point since 1960, declining in 10 years by 65,000, to just under 725,000. Puerto Ricans’ portion of the city’s Hispanic population shrank to 31 percent in 2010, from 37 percent in 2000. The number of Mexican residents soared by more than 132,000, or 71 percent, to nearly 320,000; that makes them 14 percent of the Hispanic population, up from 9 percent. There were 2.3 million Hispanic people in the city last year, an increase of 175,000, according to the census.

The latest details from the 2010 census suggest that Manhattan has become a more attractive place for younger people — it was the only borough to register gains in both children under 5 and in its 15-to-34-year-old population. “It suggests an attraction to Manhattan for parents who can afford to live there,” said William H. Frey, a demographer for the Brookings Institution.

Is this all that different from other NE and Great Lakes states? I would suppose the trend is for the young to establish where jobs and population are moving, with foreign immigrants to fill in in the larger cities. I would guess even California has this pattern.

Difficulty in getting housing loans or of selling your existing home slows down more established people but the young and renters can move easily.

It was only a trickle 15-20 years ago when I lived there, but they were always the predominant hispanic group in the area. My guess is a lot of them moved down from NY and started bringing in relatives from the island. A large chunk (based just on observation) seem to be the NY type, but the population is growing from both sources from what I understand. One of my childhood neighborhoods (Poinciana) is almost entirely Puerto Rican now. It went gang busters with the housing boom.

Melting Pot Cities and Suburbs: Racial and Ethnic Change in Metro America in the 2000s


May 04, 2011

Read More: http://www.brookings.edu/papers/2011...city_frey.aspx

PDF Report: http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Fil...icity_frey.pdf

Old images of race and place in America are changing rapidly. Nowhere are these shifts more apparent than in major U.S. cities and their suburbs. An analysis of data from the 1990, 2000, and 2010 decennial censuses reveals that Hispanics now outnumber blacks and represent the largest minority group in major American cities. The Hispanic share of population rose in primary cities of the largest 100 metropolitan areas from 2000 to 2010. Across all cities in 2010, 41 percent of residents were white, 26 percent were Hispanic, and 22 percent were black.

Well over half of America’s cities are now majority non-white. Primary cities in 58 metropolitan areas were “majority minority” in 2010, up from 43 in 2000. Cities lost only about half as many whites in the 2000s as in the 1990s, but “black flight” from cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and Detroit accelerated in the 2000s.

Minorities represent 35 percent of suburban residents, similar to their share of overall U.S. population. Among the 100 largest metro areas, 36 feature “melting pot” suburbs where at least 35 percent of residents are non-white. The suburbs of Houston, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. became majority minority in the 2000s.

So...I'm a Nicaraguan (born there) who now lives in California (US citizen). I don't recall there being a place on the census sheet for this stuff. I recall ethnicity/race distinctions but not nation of origin. How are these collected? Did I just remember wrong about the census?
