  1. 2010 Census and ACS in Oregon: Results and Resources Census Data Workshops November, 2011 Charles Rynerson Census State Data Center CoordinatorPopulation Research Center College of Urban and Public Affairs

  2. Outline • Datasets: 2010 Census and ACS • Census Geographies • 2010 Census: Race/Ethnicity, Age, Sex, Housing Units, Households, Household Relationship • ACS: Poverty, Income, Education, Health Insurance • Other Demographic Data • Resources for Data Users

  3. 2010 Census and ACS The 2010 Census shows the number of people who live in the U.S. and the American Community Survey shows how people live

  4. 2010 Census Use data from the 2010 Census to obtain counts of population and housing units and their basic characteristics (sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, household composition, occupancy and homeowner status)

  5. 2010 Census • April 1, 2010 • An “actual enumeration” (The 2010 Census aims to count all U.S. residents—citizens and non-citizens alike) • Only 10 questions on the 2010 Census form

  6. ACS Use data from the American Community Survey to obtain detailed demographic, social, economic, and housing characteristics, such as income, poverty, employment, and educational attainment.

  7. ACS • An ongoing survey that provides data every year • A sample of the population • All ACS data are survey estimates. To help you interpret the reliability of the estimate, the Census Bureau publishes a margin of error (MOE) for every ACS estimate.

  8. Population Thresholds for ACS Estimates

  9. One Year ACS Estimates for 15 Oregon Counties

  10. Three Year ACS Estimates for 27 Oregon Counties

  11. Five Year ACS Estimates for all 36 Oregon Counties

  12. Census Geography Hierarchy (with 2010 Statistical Area Criteria) Revised 10-29-11 Central axis describes a nesting relationship • Cities and towns -- incorporated • Census Designated Places (CDPs) • 1,200 to 8,000 population (optimum 4,000) • 480 to 3,200 housing units Blocks are not defined by population and are the smallest geographic level at which data are ever released (Decennial Census, not the ACS) • 600 to 3,000 population • 240 to 1,200 housing units

  13. 2010 Census: Oregon Population • 3.8 Million • 400,000 (12%) growth 2000-2010 • Less growth than in 1990s • Eight counties lost (none in 1990s)

  14. 2010 Census: Race and Ethnicity • Use decennial censuses for race and ethnic population counts, not ACS • Changes between 1990 and 2000 • Consistent reporting between 2000 and 2010 • Two questions: 1. Hispanic/Latino? 2. Race? One or more boxes

  15. 2010 Census: Race and Ethnicity 2000 2010 change

  16. 2010 Census: Age and Sex • Use decennial censuses for age and sex population counts, not ACS • Single years of age available for counties, cities, census tracts • Five year or smaller age groups at block level, by race/ethnicity

  17. 2010 Census: Housing Units

  18. 2010 Census: Households • Examples of data • -owner vs. renter • -household size • -race/ethnicity/age/sex of householder • -non-HH (group quarters) population

  19. 2010 Census: Household Relationship • Examples of data • -share of husband-wife households • -unmarried partners • -3 or more generations • -persons over 65 living alone

  20. ACS: Educational Attainment Let’s update this for 2010 and include Margins of Error!

  21. ACS: Poverty

  22. ACS: Child Poverty

  23. ACS: Income and Rent

  24. ACS: Health Insurance

  25. Resources for Data Users • census.gov -American FactFinder -Data Finders -USA Counties
