Major City Test III Houston

The city I chose to conduct research on is Houston, Texas. According to data from 2010 the current population
of Houston is 2,260,967 people. There are 47.36% white people, 23.70% blacks, and 28.92% other races. This
information I found interesting that the population of whites was higher than any other race due to the
location of Houston. It appears are truly a minority in Houston. When compared to the entire state of Texas
whites make up 67.40% of the population.
The percentage of individuals in poverty by race was whites 16.8%, blacks 39.0%, and other races 38.2%. This
percentage was very interesting as it seems that blacks and other races were twice as likely to live in poverty
as a white person and I am sure there are quite a few factors that contribute to this fact. One would be
education. Educational attainment by whites 25 years and older were as follows: less than a high school
diploma 180,804; high school graduate or GED 145,366; some college or associates degree 155,958; and
bachelors degree or higher 251,727 and this is compared to blacks which are as follows: less than a high
school diploma 82,392; high school graduate or GED 38,291; some college or associates degree 22,156; and
bachelors degree or higher 11,369 and American Indian are as follows: less than a high school diploma 2,014;
high school graduate or GED 1,185; some college or associates degree 1,201; and bachelors degree or higher
708. Also school enrollment by type (private versus public) is as follows: white for public school 185,181 and
private 42,386; blacks for public school 144,115 and private 12,451; and American Indians for public school
2,410 and private 215. Therefore I think the data shows that whites were more likely to have less than a high
school diploma, more likely to have some college, and also more likely to have a bachelors degree or higher.
This conclusion may not be indicative of the truth since the population for whites in the city is much higher
than any other ethnic group. Also they are more likely to attend private school.
Based on the data pulled in relation to single parent household, the information obtained was not very clear
as it was defined as other family including those living alone. The percentages are as follows: whites there are
33% males that are single parents or living alone and 67% for females; blacks there are 17% males that are
single parents or living alone and 83% for females; American Indians there are 41% males that are single
parents or living alone and 59% for females. A conclusion can be drawn that for blacks it is more likely that a
female single parent is present at a significant percentage and that more black women raise their children
alone. Also when it comes to homeownership versus renting there are 53% of whites who own a home and
47% who are renting, b lacks are 37% own a home and 63% are renting, and American Indians have a rate of
50% for both home ownership and renting. This suggests that it is more likely for whites to own a home and
for blacks to rent. A factor that determines whether someone is renting would be employment and the amount
of income someone earns. The rate of employment for whites is 543,146, for blacks 206,355, and American
Indians 3818. The rate of unemployment for whites is 35,545, for blacks 33,407, and American Indians 457.
This data was kind of interesting but it still ties black to the population majority. It appears that whites are
employed at a much higher rate and are slightly more unemployed compared to blacks. The per capita
income for someone who is white is $32,646, black $17,498, and American Indian is $17,269. The average or
median household income is for whites $38,911, blacks $19,505, American Indian $20,163. The income
statistics alone indicate that for blacks home rental would likely be the most affordable choice.

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.
While the 2006-2010 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.
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.

Explanation of Symbols:
1. An .. entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to
compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.
2. 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.

The methodology for calculating median income and median earnings changed between 2008 and 2009. Medians over $75,000 were most likely
affected. The underlying income and earning distribution now uses $2,500 increments up to $250,000 for households, non-family households, families,
and individuals and employs a linear interpolation method for median calculations. Before 2009 the highest income category was $200,000 for
households, families and non-family households ($100,000 for individuals) and portions of the income and earnings distribution contained intervals
wider than $2,500. Those cases used a Pareto Interpolation Method.
