Communities of U.S. Foreign Born Population

.. examining the U.S. foreign born population and how/where foreign born by country of origin communities exist .. the U.S. foreign born population includes anyone who is not a U.S. citizen at birth, including those who have become U.S. citizens through naturalization. The native born population includes anyone who is a U.S. citizen at birth, including those who were born in the U.S., Puerto Rico, a U.S. Island Area or abroad to U.S. citizen parent(s). Use the interactive table to examine foreign born population by country by census tract.

As of 2016, the U.S. foreign born population was estimated to be 43,739,345 compared to the total U.S. population of 323,127,515 (13.5%). See the related Web section for more detailed information about the U.S. foreign born population.

Population by Age, Gender & Race/Origin 2010-2015

.. tools to examine characteristics and patterns of U.S. & state population by age, gender & race/origin, 2010-2015 annually .. access individual state and area profiles.

What are the 10 states with the largest Hispanic population? How is Hispanic population distributed by age in the U.S. or any particular state? In which states does the Hispanic population comprise more than half of the total population? And by age? Get answers to these types of questions using data access and analytical tools described in this section.

Using the Interactive Table
The following graphic illustrates use of the interactive table. Tools are used to select only 2015 and show only the total and Hispanic columns, then rank in descending order on Hispanic population. It is easy to see which states have the largest Hispanic population and in relation to the total population.

Tip of the Iceberg
It’s not just about Hispanic and total population; perform similar queries/analyses by gender and for each of the five major race groups. These data are based on the latest Census Bureau 2015 model-based population estimates released in June 2016. The data options are not limited to the 2015 data; annual revised data for 2010 through 2015 are included. Find out about the size and trends for specific age groups of interest.

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.

Examining Neighborhood Diversity Patterns

Population race/ethnic diversity varies widely by neighborhood in the United States. This section reviews use of tools that you can use to examine patterns of neighborhood race/ethnic diversity for anywhere in the United States. There are many types of neighborhood diversity (economic, age, etc.); we examine just one here — diversity based on race/ethnicity. Using the tools and resources described in this section, you can also examine many other types of neighborhood diversity, or simply sub-county demographic-economic characteristics.

Dallas, TX Area Diversity Patterns by Neighborhood/Census Tract
Census tracts are colored based on value of the diversity index. See color patterns assigned based on diversity index values as shown in legend at left of the map. Blue tracts are most diverse; red tracts are least diverse. Tracts shown with black cross-hatched pattern are tracts with 50-percent or more Hispanic population.

  • San Diego, CA
  • Washington, DC

Neighborhood Diversity Index
The diversity index measures the degree of racial and ethnic diversity of the population. The percentage of each race (White, Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian) and Hispanic origin/ethnicity are used to calculate the chance that any two people are from different groups. The index ranges from 0 (no diversity) to 100 (highest diversity). The diversity index is computed for each census tract using data from Census 2010 Summary File 1 Table P5.

Variation in Neighborhood Diversity
Census tract 06001437701 in Alameda County, CA has the highest diversity index (88). Of the approximate 73,000 census tracts, there are more than 800 tracts with a diversity index above 80 (highly diverse). There are more than 8,000 tracts with a diversity index below 10 (little diversity).

Visual Patterns of Neighborhood Diversity
We illustrate use of CV XE GIS with associated GIS project to visually examine patterns of diversity by census tract. We extracted the Census 2010 Table 5 data using the Demographic Economic Data Extraction API tool and then integrated those data into a U.S. by census tract shapefile. See more about the GIS project.

Relating Visual to Tabular Data
The graphic below shows diversity patterns by census tract in the Alexandria, VA area. The view of Alexandria shows census tracts with black boundary and labeled with the diversity index.

Illustrative Table P5 Mini-Profile
Census 2010 Summary File 1 Table P5 items for census tract 51-510-200900 are shown in the table below. Table P5 contains 17 data items for each tract, P0050001 through P0050017. As shown here, the total Census 2010 population of this tract was 4,693. The total non-Hispanic population was 4,534. The relatively low size of the Hispanic population suggests that this tract will have less diversity than others.

Use no-cost tools available from ProximityOne to develop similar map views for your geography and subject matter. The ProximityOne tools extend the capabilities of the Census API resource by enabling the user to create a dataset and then integrate those data into a Census-sourced shapefile to geospatially analyze the data. Details follow.

1. Use Demographic-Economic Data Extraction (DEDE) Tool
The Demographic-Economic Data Extraction (DEDE), a Windows-based application, is used to programmatically control use of the Census API. The user starts DEDE, opens a geographic specifications file, a subject matter specifications file, and then clicks Run to access the specified data. The data are displayed in a spreadsheet where a row corresponds to a geographic area (block group) and columns correspond to the subject matter fields. Use the File
Optionally, stop here. You now have your dataset in Excel of CSV structure for direct use. The DEDE value-added benefit is the ability to select data by a list of geographic codes, a list of subject matter items and save the API retrieved data as a dataset — these operations are not directly available using the Census API alone.

Hispanic Population by Specific Origin

As of 2012, the total U.S. Hispanic origin population was estimated to be 60 million based on ACS2012. The U.S. Hispanic population is a mosaic of many different specific origins (e.g., Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, among many others reviewed below). This post is focused on resources to analyze the distribution of the Hispanic population by specific origin. These data, and insights from their analysis, can help groups, associations and other stakeholders better understand the distribution and characteristics of specific origin Hispanic populations to provide support and care services. The data can assist government agencies better communicate with specific Hispanic origin groups by understanding the distribution by specific origin and identify special needs by geography. They can help businesses better supply the types of products and services that might be needed and in demand for people of specific origins by geographic area.

Custom tabulations for Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs) can provide characteristics of specific origin groups including age, employment, income, housing, among many other richer demographics.

Hispanic Population by Specific Origin by County

The Hispanic or Latino population group is comprised of many specific origin subgroups. The specific origin subgroups are often associated with different regions of the world. Many specific origin subgroups tend to cluster by location within the U.S. both as a result of the geography of emigration (e.g., Mexico to Texas) and association with where same subgroup emigrants have settled (e.g., Cuba to New York).  Census 2010 identifies approximately 70 Hispanic specific origin subgroups.

Use the interactive table at http://proximityone.com/hispanic_origin.htm  to gain insights into how the Hispanic specific origin subgroups are distributed across the U.S. by county. Tools are provided to analyze geographic and subgroup patterns of interest.
