ANTH/SOC 464 Social Narratives: Data & Statistics

The Hispanic Databook takes a detailed look at this growing population and offers statistics on 15 topics for all 23 Hispanic origins. Raw data for this information comes from Census 2010. Our editors have spent countless hours working and reworking the numbers to present dozens of comparisons and configurations. In nearly 2,000 pages, researchers will find data for 1,264 places: 50 States, 525 Counties (population over 99,999) and 689 Cities (population over 49,999).

In the fall of 2011, the Census Bureau released data from the American Community Survey (ACS) one-year (2010) and three-year (2008-2010) estimates for the United States. The ACS replaced the decennial census long form in 2010 and now collects long-form-type information on a continuing basis rather than every 10 years, providing more current data. The ACS provides a regular stream of updated information for states and local areas and has revolutionized the way we use data to understand our communities. It produces social, housing, and economic characteristics for demographic groups.
