2000 Census Data Uncovers the "Melting-Pot" of America
April 5, 2001 Using PCensus, the development
staff of TETRAD Computer Applications have analyzed the newly released 2000
Census Data to reveal some interesting racial patterns. Applying Targeting
to the percentage of population by race in counties shows that Queens, New
York is the Melting-Pot County in America.
PCensus is a demographic analysis package that lets the user describe a
profile based on census variables (race, income, etc.), and set threshold
values on key demographics. PCensus finds and ranks all the areas in the
country that meet the demographic profile. In the first trial of the 2000
Census Redistricting data, the percentage of population by race, in all
counties with 10,000+ population, were analyzed.
Clearly such results are critical for marketing goods or delivering
community services to a geographical area. PCensus could just have easily
found the highest-ranking census tract, block group or Zip code that matched
a user defined Profile.
PCensus demographics are licensed from Claritas and Applied Geographic
Solutions. The mapping features are powered by technology from MapInfo and
ESRI. Visit Tetrad's Internet site at www.tetrad.com for more information
and pricing, and to download a free evaluation copy of PCensus and the first
release of the 2000 Census.
