2013 NACME Data Book

2013 NACME Data Book Deck 1: Increasing Diversity of the U.S. Population

Overview/Purpose • The slides in this deck provide a general picture of the U.S. population. Slides show the overall population, along with the school-aged and college-aged populations, for 2012 and for 2050 (projected). • Many slides have two versions: one with and one without data labels. The graphics are “cleaner” without the labels, yet there are some audiences for which such labeling might be important. • As with other decks, the set is not necessarily meant to be a self-contained, sequential presentation but, rather, a deck from which users may select slides for any number of presentations. The repetition, therefore, provides users with many choices to present data. • Attribution: Please indicate that the source of these slides is the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, Inc. (NACME), Department of Research and Program Evaluation. The NACME Web address is: www.nacme.org, where the slides can be accessed and downloaded. • Terminology notes: URM = underrepresented minority, which includes African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and Latinos. When the term “American Indian” is used, it references “American Indians and Alaska Natives,” consistent with U.S. Census Bureau definitions. Asian/Pac. Isl. = Asian and Pacific Islanders are people of these descents who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents and do not include people of Asian origin who are in the United States predominantly for educational purposes. “Foreign” is used to refer to “temporary residents.” Latinos can be any race: the category in most data sources includes people of all racial backgrounds who indicated that they were “Hispanic.” “Non-Latino White” refers to people who did not indicate a Latino background and did indicate “White” as a racial category.
