Description
In 2011 the Census Bureau released a special set of tabulations that showed common statistics by race and ethnicity, ancestry, and country of birth for the 2006-2010 timeframe. This special product provided more detail than was available otherwise. For example, standard tables often only list a category for “Subsaharan African” but these tables listed figures specifically for those from the country of Somalia or listing a Sudanese ancestry. The Census Bureau plans to release updated tabulations for the 2011-2015 timeframe over the summer. Learn about how to access and utilize these powerful tables that provide information you won’t find elsewhere. Initial findings and other aspects of how to best analyze figures by race will be discussed.
