How to Assess the Hispanic Vote for the 2016 Elections?

.. a good place to start finding an answer to this question is to use the Hispanic citizen voting age population (CVAP) data. We take a look at using those data here. You can use these same tools and data to examine areas of interest.

This section is focused on using census tract level CVAP data. Census tracts cover the U.S. wall-to-wall with well-defined boundaries and average 4,000 population. The 73,057 census tracts offer a good granularity to examine citizen voting age population for neighborhoods and sections of cities or counties.

While the focus is on the Hispanic population, this population group is comprised of many specific origins (more about Hispanic population by specific origin). And, although this section is focused on the Hispanic population, the CVAP data are tabulated for several race/ethnicity combinations. We could apply these same tools to other race/ethnic combinations.

%Hispanic CVAP by Census Tract; Houston Area
— in context of Texas 114th Congressional District 29 (black boundary)
.. view developed with ProximityOne CV XE GIS and related GIS project.

This map shows how Texas 114th CD 29 has many census tracts that have high concentrations and percent of Hispanic CVAP (see legend at lower right in graphic). It is easy to where the Hispanic vote potential is by tract throughout the central Houston area. Develop thematic map patterns like this for any area of the U.S. Optionally link in voting districts/precincts, state legislative districts among many others. Modify appearance with different colors, interval/color assignments, labels among other settings.

CVAP data are available for several types of geographic areas (states, counties, census tracts, block groups, among others) from the annually updated American Community Survey (ACS) CVAP special tabulation.

How to Assess the Hispanic Vote for the 2016 Elections?
Identifying the census tracts having large numbers of Hispanic CVAP and high percentages, is a step one. But an important one. The next steps involve 1) determining the scope of the registered to vote Hispanic CVAP and 2) the registered to vote Hispanic CVAP turn-out on voting day or by absentee ballot.

Use the Interactive Table to Examine Hispanic CVAP
Use the interactive table in this related section to analyze patterns among census tracts where numbers and percent of Hispanic CVAP are large. Follow these steps to analyze pattern in the central Houston:

• Click ShowAll button below table (resets table).
• Click CountyFIPS button below table.
– refreshes table with only tracts in county 48201 (Harris County/Houston).
• Click Hispanic button below table at far right.
– refreshes table with same rows but now selected columns.
• Click the “CVAP Hispanic” column header twice.
– sorts in descending order; view now appears as:

Tract 48201221300 has the highest Hispanic CVAP (3,405) among all tracts in Harris County (48201). This tract is shown in the map below (see pointer; a zoom in to the map shown above). The tract is labeled with the tract code and the Hispanic CVAP population (3,405).

Examining Texas CD 114 29 CVAP Characteristics
The CV XE GIS Site Analysis tool was used to examine CVAP characteristics for the set of census tracts intersecting with Texas CD 114 29. This is a close but rough approximation as census tracts are not fully coterminous with CD boundaries. In this case there are 136 tracts intersecting with CD 29. Approximately 98% of the composite tracts area is coincident with the CD 29 area.

In the 2014 House election, the total CD 29 votes cast was less than 50,000. The incumbent won the election with 42,000 votes. Meanwhile, the total population for the 136 tract area was 708,709, the total CVAP was 332,060 and the Hispanic CVAP was 202,495 (ACS 2014 estimates). Roughly 150,000 eligible Hispanic CVAP voters did not vote. How to assess the potential impact of a further engaged Hispanic CVAP?

Analyzing Elections/Geographic Areas of Interest
Apply these same methods to any area in the U.S. to determine those census tracts having the highest Hispanic CVAP and the *potential* to have a relatively large Hispanic Vote in the 2016 Elections.

Academy Awards, Hollywood & Statistics

.. Hollywood thrives on statistics. Hollywood is more than a place, it is a central figure in the motion picture business and reflects something worldwide. Every week box office receipts are closely watched and often big news. The motion picture industry is big business and its activities and contributions are measured in many ways by Federal statistical agencies — often the only source of data on key attributes of the industry. The motion picture industry is defined by type of business/NAICS category 5121. See a partial summary of business/economic data sources for that sector. As for the demographics of “Hollywood”, the Census Bureau records a de facto history of the people that made Hollywood … through the decennial census. See corresponding Web page section.

— see about the Hollywood sign

This section ties together some of these data about Hollywood, the Academy Awards, statistics and data used to build statistical data. Among other data, here we look at decennial census respondent data, like that of Katherine Hepburn — read on to view more celebrity census respondent data. Attributes of these well known decennial census respondents (e.g., age, gender, race and related housing/household items) are merged together with other respondent data, like yours and mine, to develop summary statistics. This section draws substantially on data and information developed by the Census Bureau.

On February 28, 2016, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hosts the 88th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, CA (see Los Angeles city ACS 5-year demographic-economic characteristics, ACS 1-year demographic-economic characteristics). During the televised ceremony, the Academy will award Oscar trophies in 24 categories, including Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Picture, and Best Original Score. The Oscars will be attended by residents of the Los Angeles metro area (see profile) including Los Angeles County (see about age-gender patterns) and Orange County.

About Hollywood
There is not a California city named Hollywood; West Hollywood is the closest thing. The Oscars event is held in the city of Los Angeles. The location is shown in the following graphic (red marker) in context with West Hollywood and Beverly Hills (red boundaries). This map was developed using TIGER/Line city/places shapefile.

More Subject Matter Detail: PUMAs. Develop custom estimates of actors and other occupations relevant to the motion picture industry using the American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS). These individual population and housing respondent records enable you to develop estimates for areas with 100,000 population or more. Estimates may be developed for Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs). The area covered by West Hollywood and Beverly Hills is roughly equivalenced by PUMA 0603731. See map showing this area; PUMA 0603731 shown by blue boundary. Los Angeles County is subdivided into 69 PUMAs.

K-12 Education. The Beverly Hills city is almost coterminous with Beverly Hills Unified School District (see BHUSD ACS 5-year demographic-economic characteristics and population pyramid). West Hollywood city is a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (see LAUSD ACS 5-year demographic-economic characteristics, ACS 1-year demographic-economic characteristics and population pyramid.

The first Academy Awards ceremony was held on May 16, 1929. Fifteen Oscar trophies honored the motion picture industry’s actors, actresses, directors, and others for work in 1927-1928. In the years that followed, the addition of new categories honored actors and actresses in supporting roles (1936), visual effects (1939), costume design (1948), sound editing (1963), and animated feature (2001).

Today the Academy Awards have evolved into a much anticipated event featuring some of the world’s most beloved figures from the entertainment and fashion industries. Learn more about the ceremony and the industries it honors using data from the Census Bureau and other federal statistical agencies. Some details are summarized below.

Data Confidentiality. Following the “72 year rule”, pursuant to Public Law 95-416, census respondent data is held confidential for 72 years. Individual respondent data are released to the public by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) after 72 years. NARA released the 1930 census records in April 2002 and the 1940 census records on April 2, 2012. Individual respondent data show below is from the 1940 or earlier censuses.

Louis B. Mayer, of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), founded the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1927 to mediate labor disputes and improve the movie industry’s image. The Academy’s 36 founding members included actors Douglas Fairbanks, Harold Lloyd, and Mary Pickford; directors Cecil B. DeMille and Raoul Walsh; producers Harry and Jack Warner; and writers Bess Meredyth and Carey Wilson.

In 1929—the year of the first Academy Awards ceremony—80 million tickets to hit films like Rio Rita starring Bebe Daniels, The Desert Song featuring music by Irving Berlin, and The Cocoanuts starring Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo Marx earned $720 million. In 2015, Movie Web site Box Office Mojo reported that domestic audiences purchased 1.33 billion movie tickets for a total annual box office gross of approximately $11.1 billion.

Soon after the founding of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, data from the 1930 Census showed that 93,804 people listed their occupation as actor, dancer, showmen, or athlete. In 1940, the number increased to 97,361. In May 2014, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 69,400 people worked as actors, 20,100 were dancers or choreographers, 58,900 were film and video editors and camera operators, 64,400 were multimedia artists and animators, and 122,600 worked as producers and directors.

The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) first televised the Academy Awards ceremony in 1953. In that year, 20.4 million American households owned a television. Since 1978, 98 percent or more of all American households reported owning at least one television.

The 1959 film Ben-Hur, starring Charlton Heston, won a single-film record 11 Academy Awards. Since then, two movies—Titanic (1997) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)—have tied that record.

Walt Disney holds the men’s record for most Academy Award wins with 22. Costume designer Edith Head holds the women’s record with 8. Katherine Hepburn won the most Academy Awards for acting for her roles in Morning Glory (1933), Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967), The Lion in Winter (1968), and On Golden Pond (1981). John Ford is the most awarded director, winning for The Informer (1934), The Grapes of Wrath (1939), How Green Was My Valley (1940), and The Quiet Man (1951).

For many, movies are not complete without popcorn. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the census of agriculture found that 1,040 farms produced more than 785.7 million pounds of popcorn in 2012. Approximately 45 percent of the nation’s popcorn is grown in Nebraska, followed by Indiana (19 percent), Illinois (12 percent), Ohio (11 percent), South Dakota (3.5 percent), and Iowa (2.4 percent).

Hollywood Iconic Sign
Real estate developer H.J. Whitley erected the Hollywood Sign in 1923. Situated on Mount Lee in the Santa Monica Mountains, the sign—originally reading “Hollywoodland”—advertised Whitley’s housing development in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, CA. Today, the sign is an iconic landmark symbolizing the state’s entertainment industry. The following map view shows the sign location at the pointer near top of map in context with the Oscar’s ceremony location shown by the red marker near the bottom of the map.

Relating Addresses to Digital Road Segments

.. enter an address on a Google Maps page, or many other similar Web-based “find address” tools, and view that address on a map. View street detail easily. But a view of the digital road segment is not available. Answers to these questions are not available:
• what are the demographic-economic attributes for that location?
• what are the left and right side address ranges for that road segment?
• what are the geocodes on the left and right sides of that road segment?
• what are the end-point coordinates for the road segment?
• how does that road segment (the route) extend through the city or county?

Use methods described in this section to answer these types of questions and examine “Address to Digital Road Segment” relationships. An example is used that features an address shown as a red marker in the banner graphic at the top of this page (Kansas City, MO area). That address is also used in the interactive data access form below. Use these resources and methods for most addresses in the U.S. Tools reviewed here are available at no fee.

Congressional District Citizen Voting Age Population

.. congressional districts are very diverse in terms of the overall percent and geographic distribution of citizen voting age population. The size and distribution of the citizen voting age population are important as this population group determines election outcomes. Among the 114th Congressional Districts, the citizen voting age population (CVAP) ranged from 43.2% of the total population (CA40) to 81.2% (FL11) in 2014. Nationally, the citizen voting age population (CVAP) was 70.5% of the total population

Use the interactive table discussed in this section to view/rank/compare/query national scope citizen and CVAP estimates by 114th Congressional District, state and the U.S.  Access the interactive table in this related Web page.

Examining patterns of the citizen voting age population … the Voting Rights Act prohibits development of voting districts that discriminate against potential voters on the basis of race and/or language minority status. To examine how voting districts comply with the Voting Rights Act requires data on the citizen voting age population (CVAP) by race/origin for many types of geographic areas. This section provides data analytics tools to examine ACS 2014 1-year CVAP estimates for 114th Congressional Districts. See related section for information CVAP demographics at the census tract level.

The CVAP data can be used to develop insights into alternative interpretations of “one person one vote.” The Supreme Court on May 26, 2015, agreed to hear a case that will answer a long-contested question about a principle of the American political system — the meaning of “one person one vote.” The court has never resolved whether that means that voting districts should have the same number of people, or the same number of eligible voters. The difference matters in places with large numbers of people who cannot vote legally, including immigrants who are here legally but are not citizens; unauthorized immigrants; children; and prisoners.

The CVAP estimates provide only one part of the required data. Voting district and other boundaries and data are also needed to be used in combination with the CVAP estimates. Using GIS tools, the CVAP estimates can be used in mapping applications, such as those reviewed in this section, in combination with voting district boundaries to reveal potential non-compliance in the structure of voting districts.

Interactive Table
Use this interactive table to view/rank/compare/query national scope citizen and CVAP estimates by 114th Congressional District, state and the U.S. These data are based on ACS 2014 1-year estimates found in Table B05003.
