Methods Quantative Research

The quantitative data used in this report is drawn from the U.S. Decennial Census from the years 2010 and 2020, and from American Community Survey (ACS) from 2006-2010 and 2016-2020. While the Census is an exact count of information reported by households throughout the United States, the American Community Survey is an estimate based on survey responses collected over a period of time.

The 2016-2020 American Community Survey, for example, shows data collected from surveys submitted between 2016 and 2020. The American Community Survey, being an estimate rather than an exact count, also has a margin of error. Whenever possible data is drawn from the census tract level. Spatial data was mapped using R Studio, with the same sources as mentioned above.
