Hi. I'm Mary Leisenring. Did you know that:
The 2020 Census Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A provides
population counts for nearly 1,500 race and ethnicity groups
American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages?
In this data gem you will learn how to use an interactive
data visualization to access data for
detailed race and ethnicity groups.
Hi, I’m Brittany Rico from the Population Division.
Today I’ll use several examples to show how you can use
this visualization to explore Geographic Trends and rank population counts of
detailed groups for the nation states and counties.
First, let's look at the Maps.
This visualization allows you to select
a race alone group, race alone or an any combination group, or Hispanic or
Latino origin group then map the largest or second largest detailed Group by
States or counties. To learn about terms and definitions, such as 'race alone' and
'race alone or in any combination' click on Notes in the lower right-hand corner
to find additional information. Let's return to the map by
clicking on the 'Return home' button. The map defaults to display the largest
detailed White alone group for each State, the District of Colombia and
Puerto Rico, but let's say you are interested in mapping the largest
detailed Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in any
combination group. From these 'Select a racial or ethnic group' drop down, select
Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander alone or in any combination.
Keep the 'Select a map' menu on 'Largest detailed group' and 'Select a geography
level' on 'States'. We see that in most states the largest group in 2020 was
Native Hawaiian, shown in blue in the legend. Clicking on a detailed group in
the legend allows you to highlight that group in the
map. The largest detailed group in Alaska and Utah was Samoan shown in red, and the
largest group in Arkansas was Marshallese shown in
pink. Hovering over a state provides more information on the largest detailed
group. For example the Marshallese population in Arkansas in 2020 was
[Music] 12,172 and this group represented
68.1% of the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in combination
population for this state. Now, let's select the 'Second largest detailed group'
from the 'Select a map' menu. We can see that the second largest detailed Native
Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in any combination group for
many of the states in 2020 was Samoan. For Arkansas the second largest
detailed group was Native Hawaiian. Let's say we're interested in learning more
about the geographic trends of the largest detailed Native Hawaiian and
Other Pacific Islander groups for counties in Arkansas. We'll do this by
selecting 'Counties' in the upper right corner. Then we'll select the largest
detailed group option and find Arkansas under 'Select estate or equivalent'. Here
we can see that while the Marshallese population was the largest detailed
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone or in any combination
group for the state of Arkansas, it was not the largest group for every
county. Let's see how the population counts of all detailed Native Hawaiian
and Other Pacific Islander groups in Arkansas compare by clicking on the
rankings tab on the top. The rankings tab defaults to the 'Detailed groups' rank
list type. Based on our previous menu selections the 'Detailed groups' chart
ranks the population counts of all detailed Native Hawaiian and Other
Pacific Islander alone or in any combination groups in
Arkansas, from most populace to least
populace. Additionally you can also find rankings at the national level or for a
specific county by toggling between geography
levels. If you are interested in ranking popular population counts for a specific
detailed group, like the Bolivian population, by geography, select the
'Geographies' rank list type. Next, from the drop-down menus that
appear, select 'Hispanic or Latino' and 'Bolivian' and let's keep the
geography level at States. Among all states and state equivalents, Virginia
had the largest Bolivian population in 2020 with
34,772 people. Additionally, the Bolivian population in Virginia represented
3.8% of this state's Hispanic or Latino population. If we change the geography
level to 'Counties' the chart will rank the Bolivian population counts of all
counties in the United States. The default State selection for this chart
is 'All' but, you can also select a specific state, from the drop-down
menu. Only states that have counties with a population count for the detailed
group you selected will appear in this filter. Let's select Virginia, to see the
Bolivian population counts for all counties in
Virginia. These are just a few of the ways you can use this visualization to
explore geographic trends and population counts of detailed race and ethnicity
groups in the 2020 census. As you can see, this visualization
is an exceptionally handy tool to easily find population count data and rankings
for detailed race and ethnicity groups. For more videos like this, visit
