The following article will discuss Population & Steets in New. The population of this area was once predominantly black, but that has changed in recent years. While the city is still relatively low-income, its housing market has become more expensive, and it is harder for black people to get a mortgage. In the 1960s, nearly four out of five people in the Albina neighborhood were black. The neighborhood's median home value was 58 percent below the city average. As a result, the area was home to drug dealing and gang violence.
The Census Bureau provides demographic and socioeconomic data about the people living in the area. While primary population data comes from the 2010 Decennial Census, socio-economic characteristics are mostly derived from the 2005-2009 Five-Year Estimates. In most analyses, the census tracts are comprised of 32 and 38. Census tracts are smallest geographic areas where proportional sample data can be analyzed.
The Study Area includes Asian and Spanish-speaking residents. While the latter are the largest groups of non-English-speaking residents, the Asian-speaking population is still significant. Asian and Spanish are the most common foreign languages spoken in the area. The remaining six languages are used by a small minority of the city's population. The Asian-speaking population is a disproportionately large percentage of the overall population.
