Data definitions
  • 95% Confidence Interval
    Much of the Census data were collected from only a sample of U.S. households. These data are, therefore, an estimate of the entire population rather than an exact count. The 95% Confidence Interval is a quantitative measure of the margin of error around that estimate. It represents the range of values within which there is a 95% confidence that the true value falls. The confidence interval is used to compare values for different geographic areas. If the confidence intervals of two percents overlap, we cannot say that they are statistically different from one another; the true percents of each may fall within the overlapping range.

  • About Race and Hispanic Ethnicity Data

    The 2000 U.S. Census asked respondents to identify the race of all members of the household by choosing one or more race from a list of six categories: 1) White, 2) Black or African American, 3) American Indian and Alaska Native, 4) Asian, 5) Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and 6) Other. For this website, Asian has been combined with Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander. Figures are not reported for Other race. All people that chose more than one of these races are grouped together in the Multi-Racial category.

    In a separate question, respondents were asked if they are Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino. People who said, "yes", may also be counted in any of the six race groups.

    The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature.

  • African American population
    Total number of people who chose "Black or African American" as their only race in 2000. See About Race and Hispanic Ethnicity Data for more information (Source: 2000 U.S. Census, Summary File 1, Table P7).

  • African American population living below poverty level
    African American population living below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level in 1999. The Census Bureau uses the federal Social Security Administration's official poverty definition. The poverty thresholds are revised annually to allow for changes in the cost of living. All income and poverty measures are calculated based on 1999 income. See How the Census Bureau Measures Poverty for information on poverty thresholds.

    Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of decennial census data. Census tracts generally have between 1,500 and 8,000 people living in them, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. Each census tract is identified by a number that ranges from 1 to 9999 and may have a two-digit numeric suffix (ex. 268.01). Census tract numbers are unique within a county.
