<< 30 Years of UN Vetos | Main | Why Legislative Prayer Should End >> March 08, 2003My Census BlocFollowing on the advice of CalPundit, I checked out the Census's nifty electronic readout of my neighborhood. At the zipcode level, out of 54,912 people, I'm in the distinct minority of being one of the 13,932 non-hispanic whites. The area is quite mixed here in Jersey City- black, south asia, Filipino. Arab-american isn't a category (a very heavy group in the area)-- I'm curious how they classify themselves on the census? At the block level, similar diversity holds. Out of 191 people, I am one of 54 non-hispanic whites, although everyone else is largely either latino or south asian-- not too suprising since I'm about two blocks from what's called "Little India." Just my corner of the universe. Thanks Kevin! Posted by Nathan at March 8, 2003 07:49 PM Related posts:

It seems like a legitimate question. Posted by: John Isbell at March 9, 2003 04:44 PM Post a comment
