The data is from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). The figures in this map update automatically annually when the newest estimates are released by ACS. For more detailed metadata, visit the ArcGIS Living Atlas Layer: ACS Race and Hispanic Origin Variables - Boundaries.The data on race were derived from answers to the question on race that was asked of individuals in the United States. The Census Bureau collects racial data in accordance with guidelines provided by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and these data are based on self-identification. The racial categories included in the census questionnaire generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country and not an attempt to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically. The categories represent a social-political construct designed for collecting data on the race and ethnicity of broad population groups in this country, and are not anthropologically or scientifically based.

This layer was developed by the Research & Analytics Group of the Atlanta Regional Commission, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2013-2017, to show population by race/ethnicity and change data by Neighborhood Planning Unit in the Atlanta region. The user should note that American Community Survey data represent estimates derived from a surveyed sample of the population, which creates some level of uncertainty, as opposed to an exact measure of the entire population (the full census count is only conducted once every 10 years and does not cover as many detailed characteristics of the population). Therefore, any measure reported by ACS should not be taken as an exact number – this is why a corresponding margin of error (MOE) is also given for ACS measures. The size of the MOE relative to its corresponding estimate value provides an indication of confidence in the accuracy of each estimate. Each MOE is expressed in the same units as its corresponding measure; for example, if the estimate value is expressed as a number, then its MOE will also be a number; if the estimate value is expressed as a percent, then its MOE will also be a percent. The user should also note that for relatively small geographic areas, such as census tracts shown here, ACS only releases combined 5-year estimates, meaning these estimates represent rolling averages of survey results that were collected over a 5-year span (in this case 2013-2017). Therefore, these data do not represent any one specific point in time or even one specific year. For geographic areas with larger populations, 3-year and 1-year estimates are also available.

Home ownership persists as the primary way that families build wealth. Housing researchers and advocates often discuss the racial home ownership gap, particularly for Black and Hispanic households (Urban Institute, Pew Hispanic Center). The Urban Institute projects that most new homeowners in the next two decades will be Hispanic, but yet the housing industry is ill-equipped for this shift. This map opens in Yuma, AZ and has nationwide coverage for states, counties, and tracts.This map uses the Compare A to B mapping style since we are comparing homeownership rates between two groups. Areas in red have higher homeownership rates among non-Hispanic White households, whereas purple areas have higher homeownership rates among Hispanic and Latino households.The pop-up contains information about whether the difference is statistically significant, which has been calculated through an Arcade expression based on this statistical testing tool from the US Census Bureau. When a difference is significant, it means we are 90% confident that the difference is real, and not just due to getting a lucky (or unlucky) sample.This map uses these hosted feature layers containing the most recent American Community Survey data. These layers are part of the ArcGIS Living Atlas, and are updated every year when the American Community Survey releases new estimates, so values in the map always reflect the newest data available.

Relative concentration of the Central California region's Hispanic and/or Black, Indigenous or person of color (HSPBIPOC) American population. The variable HSPBIPOC is equivalent to all individuals who select a combination of racial and ethnic identity in response to the Census questionnaire EXCEPT those who select "not Hispanic" for the ethnic identity question, and "white race alone" for the racial identity question. This is the most encompassing possible definition of racial and ethnic identities that may be associated with historic underservice by agencies, or be more likely to express environmental justice concerns (as compared to predominantly non-Hispanic white communities). Until 2021, federal agency guidance for considering environmental justice impacts of proposed actions focused on how the actions affected "racial or ethnic minorities." "Racial minority" is an increasingly meaningless concept in the USA, and particularly so in California, where only about 3/8 of the state's population identifies as non-Hispanic and white race alone - a clear majority of Californians identify as Hispanic and/or not white. Because many federal and state map screening tools continue to rely on "minority population" as an indicator for flagging potentially vulnerable / disadvantaged/ underserved populations, our analysis includes the variable HSPBIPOC which is effectively "all minority" population according to the now outdated federal environmental justice direction. A more meaningful analysis for the potential impact of forest management actions on specific populations considers racial or ethnic populations individually: e.g., all people identifying as Hispanic regardless of race; all people identifying as American Indian, regardless of Hispanic ethnicity; etc.

"Relative concentration" is a measure that compares the proportion of population within each Census block group data unit that identify as HSPBIPOC alone to the proportion of all people that live within the 4,961 block groups in the Central California RRK region that identify as HSPBIPOC alone. Example: if 5.2% of people in a block group identify as HSPBIPOC, the block group has twice the proportion of HSPBIPOC individuals compared to the Central California RRK region (2.6%), and more than three times the proportion compared to the entire state of California (1.6%). If the local proportion is twice the regional proportion, then HSPBIPOC individuals are highly concentrated locally.

This map contains the 2020 Vulnerable Population Index along with the component demographic layers. The following seven populations were determined to be vulnerable based on an understanding of both federal requirements and regional demographics: 1) Low-Income Population (below 200% of poverty level) 2) Non-Hispanic Minority Population 3) Hispanic or Latino Population (all races) 4) Population with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) 5) Population with Disabilities 6) Elderly Population (age 75 and up) 7) Households with No CarFor each of these populations, Census tracts with concentrations above the regional mean concentration are divided into two categories above the regional mean. These categories are calculated by dividing the range of values between the regional mean and the regional maximum into two equal-sized intervals. Tracts in the lower interval are given a score of 1 and tracts in the upper interval are given a score of 2 for that demographic variable. The scores are totaled from the seven individual demographic variables to yield the Vulnerable Population Index (VPI). The VPI can range from zero to fourteen (0 to 14). A lower VPI indicates a less vulnerable area, while a higher VPI indicates a more vulnerable area.FIELDSP_PovL100: Percent Below 100% of the Poverty Level, P_PovL200: Percent Below 200% of the Poverty Level, P_Minrty: Percent Minority (non-White, non-Hispanic), P_Hisp: Percent Hispanic, P_LEP: Percent Limited English Proficiency (speak English "not well" or "not at all"), P_Disabld: Percent with Disabilities, P_Elderly: Percent Elderly (age 75 and over), P_NoCarHH: Percent Households with No Vehicle, RG_PovL100: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Below 100% of the Poverty Level, RG_PovL200: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Below 200% of the Poverty Level, RG_Minrty: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Minority (non-White, non-Hispanic), RG_Hisp: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Hispanic, RG_LEP: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Limited English Proficiency (speak English "not well" or "not at all"), RG_Disabld: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent with Disabilities, RG_Elderly: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Elderly (age 75 and over), RG_NoCarHH: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Households with No Vehicle, [NO SC_PovL100: Note: Percent Below 100% of the Poverty Level not used in VPI 2020 calculation],SC_PovL200: VPI Score for Below 200% of the Poverty Level (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_Minrty: VPI Score for Minority (non-White, non-Hispanic) (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_Hisp: VPI Score for Hispanic (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_LEP: VPI Score for Limited English Proficiency (speak English "not well" or "not at all") (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_Disabld: VPI Score for Disabilities (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_Elderly: VPI Score for Elderly (age 75 and over) (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_NoCarHH: VPI Score for Households with No Vehicle (Values: 0, 1, or 2),VPI_2020: Total VPI Score (0 minimum to 14 maximum).Additional information on equity planning at BMC can be found here.Sources: Baltimore Metropolitan Council, U.S. Census Bureau 2016–2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.

A statistical test is not appropriate..An ''-'' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution..An ''-'' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution..An ''+'' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution..An ''***'' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate..An ''*****'' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate. .An ''N'' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small..An ''(X)'' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available..Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization..While the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities..Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables..Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2010 American Community Survey

BackgroundRacial and ethnic disparities persist in preterm birth (PTB) and gestational age (GA) at delivery in the United States. It remains unclear whether exposure to environmental chemicals contributes to these disparities.ObjectivesWe applied recent methodologies incorporating environmental mixtures as mediators in causal mediation analysis to examine whether racial and ethnic disparities in GA at delivery and PTB may be partially explained by exposures to polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a class of chemicals used as flame retardants in the United States.MethodsData from a multiracial/ethnic US cohort of 2008 individuals with low-risk singleton pregnancies were utilized, with plasma PBDE concentrations measured during early pregnancy. We performed mediation analyses incorporating three forms of mediators: (1) reducing all PBDEs to a weighted index, (2) selecting a PBDE congener, or (3) including all congeners simultaneously as multiple mediators, to evaluate whether PBDEs may contribute to the racial and ethnic disparities in PTB and GA at delivery, adjusted for potential confounders.ResultsAmong the 2008 participants, 552 self-identified as non-Hispanic White, 504 self-identified as non-Hispanic Black, 568 self-identified as Hispanic, and 384 self-identified as Asian/Pacific Islander. The non-Hispanic Black individuals had the highest mean ∑PBDEs, the shortest mean GA at delivery, and the highest rate of PTB. Overall, the difference in GA at delivery comparing non-Hispanic Black to non-Hispanic White women was −0.30 (95% CI: −0.54, −0.05) weeks. This disparity reduced to −0.23 (95% CI: −0.49, 0.02) and −0.18 (95% CI: −0.46, 0.10) weeks if fixing everyone's weighted index of PBDEs to the median and the 25th percentile levels, respectively. The proportion of disparity mediated by the weighted index of PBDEs was 11.8%. No statistically significant mediation was found for PTB, other forms of mediator(s), or other racial and ethnic groups.ConclusionPBDE mixtures may partially mediate the Black vs. White disparity in GA at delivery. While further validations are needed, lowering the PBDEs at the population level might help reduce this disparity.

Racial diversity is measured by a diversity index that is calculated using United States Census racial and ethnic population characteristics from the PL-94 data file. The diversity index is a quantitative measure of the distribution of the proportion of five major ethnic populations (non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, Asian and Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and Two or more races). The index ranges from 0 (low diversity meaning only one group is present) to 1 (meaning an equal proportion of all five groups is present). The diversity score for the United States in 2010 is 0.60. The diversity score for the San Francisco Bay Region is 0.84. Within the region, Solano (0.89) and Alameda (0.90) Counties are the most diverse and the remaining North Bay (0.55 - 0.64) Counties are the least diverse.

In 2023, the gross median household income for Asian households in the United States stood at 112,800 U.S. dollars. Median household income in the United States, of all racial and ethnic groups, came out to 80,610 U.S. dollars in 2023. Asian and Caucasian (white not Hispanic) households had relatively high median incomes, while the median income of Hispanic, Black, American Indian, and Alaskan Native households all came in lower than the national median. A number of related statistics illustrate further the current state of racial inequality in the United States. Unemployment is highest among Black or African American individuals in the U.S. with 8.6 percent unemployed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2021. Hispanic individuals (of any race) were most likely to go without health insurance as of 2021, with 22.8 percent uninsured.

This map contains the 2020 Vulnerable Population Index along with the component demographic layers. The following seven populations were determined to be vulnerable based on an understanding of both federal requirements and regional demographics: 1) Low-Income Population (below 200% of poverty level) 2) Non-Hispanic Minority Population 3) Hispanic or Latino Population (all races) 4) Population with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) 5) Population with Disabilities 6) Elderly Population (age 75 and up) 7) Households with No CarFor each of these populations, Census tracts with concentrations above the regional mean concentration are divided into two categories above the regional mean. These categories are calculated by dividing the range of values between the regional mean and the regional maximum into two equal-sized intervals. Tracts in the lower interval are given a score of 1 and tracts in the upper interval are given a score of 2 for that demographic variable. The scores are totaled from the seven individual demographic variables to yield the Vulnerable Population Index (VPI). The VPI can range from zero to fourteen (0 to 14). A lower VPI indicates a less vulnerable area, while a higher VPI indicates a more vulnerable area.FIELDSP_PovL100: Percent Below 100% of the Poverty Level, P_PovL200: Percent Below 200% of the Poverty Level, P_Minrty: Percent Minority (non-White, non-Hispanic), P_Hisp: Percent Hispanic, P_LEP: Percent Limited English Proficiency (speak English "not well" or "not at all"), P_Disabld: Percent with Disabilities, P_Elderly: Percent Elderly (age 75 and over), P_NoCarHH: Percent Households with No Vehicle, RG_PovL100: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Below 100% of the Poverty Level, RG_PovL200: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Below 200% of the Poverty Level, RG_Minrty: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Minority (non-White, non-Hispanic), RG_Hisp: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Hispanic, RG_LEP: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Limited English Proficiency (speak English "not well" or "not at all"), RG_Disabld: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent with Disabilities, RG_Elderly: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Elderly (age 75 and over), RG_NoCarHH: Regional Average (Mean) of Percent Households with No Vehicle, [NO SC_PovL100: Note: Percent Below 100% of the Poverty Level not used in VPI 2020 calculation],SC_PovL200: VPI Score for Below 200% of the Poverty Level (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_Minrty: VPI Score for Minority (non-White, non-Hispanic) (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_Hisp: VPI Score for Hispanic (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_LEP: VPI Score for Limited English Proficiency (speak English "not well" or "not at all") (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_Disabld: VPI Score for Disabilities (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_Elderly: VPI Score for Elderly (age 75 and over) (Values: 0, 1, or 2),SC_NoCarHH: VPI Score for Households with No Vehicle (Values: 0, 1, or 2),VPI_2020: Total VPI Score (0 minimum to 14 maximum).Additional information on equity planning at BMC can be found here.Sources: Baltimore Metropolitan Council, U.S. Census Bureau 2016–2020 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.

As of 2021, non-Hispanic white people in the United States had the highest incidence rates of skin cancer among all races and ethnicities. Skin cancer is one of the most commonly occurring cancers in the world. Furthermore, the United States is among the countries with the highest rates of skin cancer worldwide. Skin cancer in the U.S. There are a few different types of skin cancer and some are more deadly than others. Basal and squamous skin cancers are more common and less dangerous than melanomas. Among U.S. residents, skin cancer has been demonstrated to be more prevalent among men than women. Skin cancer is also more prevalent among older adults. With treatment and early detection, skin cancers have a high survival rate. Fortunately, in recent years the U.S. has seen a reduction in the rate of death from melanoma. Skin cancer prevention Avoiding and protecting exposed skin from the sun (and other sources of UV light) is the primary means of preventing skin cancer. However, a survey of U.S. adults from 2024 found that around ******* never used sunscreen.
