Key factors to research: age, race, sex, the elderly, income and poverty, unemployment, industry, occupation, and type of disability (e.g. mobility limitation). The Census does not cover deaths in a given year or individual disabilities such as being quadriplegic.

Definitions for the 2000 Census appear in the Appendix B to the Summary File 3 Technical Documentation

Facsimile questionnaires appear in Appendix D of the Summary File 3 Technical Documentation:

• Multiple Races. The 2000 Census permitted people to choose multiple races. They are tabulated into six categories: white; black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska native; Asian; native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, and Other. The Arab population is considered white. Most tables also have a seventh category named Two or More Races. Approximately 2-3% of all people reported multiple races in the 2000 Census Many people believe the 2000 racial data is not comparable to 1990.

  There were only five (rather than seven) standard tabulations in 1990. These include white, black, Asian or Pacific Islander (Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Guamanian, Hawaiian, Japanese, Korean, Samoan, Vietnamese, other) American Indian (or Alaska Native) and other.

• Hispanic. Hispanic is not a race so is usually covered in a separate table. Some tables provide data for Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and other. The Hispanic question was asked after the racial question in 1990. Many of the numbers in "Other Race" can be attributed to Hispanics. The Hispanic question was asked before the racial question in 2000 so may be more accurate.

• Calculating Minorities

• Labor Force. Labor force participation includes people who have jobs or want them. Reasons for not participating in the labor force include age, disability, family matters, retirement, school enrollment, etc.

• Unemployment. Unemployment is calculated by dividing the people who want jobs but don't have them by the labor force.

• Income. Income is calculated for households (families, people living alone, people living together but not related), families (related by blood or marriage), individuals, and per capita (including children).

• Median = half below level and half above level; Mean = average.

• Poverty. Poverty rates are calculated by the Census Bureau using the family income and size of the family. See http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/threshld/thresh99.html

• Group Quarters. The category includes institutionalized people (nursing homes, mental institutions, prisons) and non-institutionalized people (college dorms and military quarters).

Summary File 4

http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2000/doc/sf4.pdf

Data Sets is the major data access point. It includes links to 2000 and 1990 Decennial Censuses, American Community Survey, and 1997 Economic Census.

With DATA SETS, you have the option of choosing Summary File 1, 2, 3 or 4. Summary Files 2 and 4 are best for your purposes.

Within any SUMMARY FILE, there are several types of files:

• Quick Tables: one subject for one geography. These are comparable to the Demographic Profiles.
• Geographic Comparison Tables: one subject for multiple geographies (tracts in county)
• Thematic Maps
• Detailed Data - most detailed information; must download entire table
• Custom Tables - can download parts of one table or mix and match tables.

DETAILED DATA and CUSTOM TABLES provide subject and keyword searching for the tables but subject searching is usually the easiest.

PCT and HCT tables are more detailed than the P and H tables in terms of age, race, and subject breakdowns. Search results should be highlighted and ADDED to the box.

Geography can be chosen through LIST GEOGRAPHY, GEOGRAPHY WITHIN GEOGRAPHY, PLACE NAME SEARCHING, and ADDRESS SEARCHING. LIST GEOGRAPHY provides geographies one level down: e.g. blocks groups in one tract. GEO WITHIN GEO shows geography at least two levels down, e.g. all block groups in county.

Tables can be altered through THE LOCATIONAL BREADCRUMB AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, and then changing the table, geography, or data set.

OPTIONS provides the geographic coding for a given table. RELATED ITEMS links to thematic maps and other data sets.

Data can be downloaded in comma-delimited and tab delimited formats, as is or with columns and rows transposed. All four formats label the rows and columns. Tables can also be downloaded in a comma delimited format ready for manipulation with large statistical packages. The rows and columns have coded rather than alphabetic headers.

Geographic Area: U.S., states, counties, places, census tracts, block groups, and blocks.

Time Period: 2000.

UPDATING THE CENSUS

Native American Data Availability: 2006

There is some social and economic data for the 14 Native American reservations listed in the American Community Survey, 2006, (below). The majority, though not all, of the residents on a particular reservation will be members of the tribe.

Five-year age groups by sex for Native Americans as a whole is available for counties in American Factfinder/Data Sets/2000 Census Summary File 1 Click on Choose All Geographic Types/American Indian Reservations/By County. Example.

There MAY be SOME social and economic characteristics available for individual tribes (e.g. Navajo, Chippewa) on a national basis through the American Community Survey's Public Use Microdata Samples.

Population Estimates http://www.census.gov/popest/datasets.html

Annual estimates of the population by large racial groups (including Native American as a whole) by five-year age groups, race and sex for the nation, states, and counties. Go to middle of the page for county estimates and then choose state. Use the file layout to manipulate your spreadsheet. EXAMPLE

American Community Survey. (http://factfinder.census.gov/)

Annual sample survey of the public with questions very similar to the 2000 Census sample questionnaire. Data is cumulated on a rolling basis and will eventually replace the 2010 sample questionnaire. Access is primarily through American Factfinder/Data Sets.

The 2005 survey provides data for the U.S. and states as well as counties, groups of counties (pumas), and cities over 65,000 in population. There is also data for the following Native American Reservations:

Cherokee OTSA, OK
Cherokees of Southeast Alabama SDAISA, AL
Cheyenne-Arapaho OTSA, OK
Chickasaw OTSA, OK
Choctaw OTSA, OK
Citizen Potawatomi Nation-Absentee Shawnee OTSA, OK
Coharie SDAISA, NC
Creek OTSA, OK
Echota Cherokee SDAISA, AL
Four Winds Cherokee SDAISA, LA
Kiowa-Comanche-Apache-Fort Sill Apache OTSA, OK
Lumbee SDAISA, NC
Navajo Nation Reservation and Off-Reservation Trust Land, AZ--NM--UT
United Houma Nation SDAISA, LA

Data for places over 20,000 will be available in 2008; for census tracts in 2010.

American Community Survey Integrated Public Use Microdata Samples (http://usa.ipums.org/usa/sda/).

These are raw data files from the American Community Survey, which you can use to tabulate your own variables. The data for most tribes is at a national level only. Options for using them:

1. IPUMS Public Use Software. You will choose your variables on the lefthand side of the screen and filter for a particular tribe. See Example 1 and Example 2.
2. Contact the University of Michigan Documents Center (govdocs@umich.edu or Spatial and Numeric Data Service (sand@umich.edu) for personalized assistance using PDQ Explore.
