3.6.5 Population

Census data were obtained in 1990 and 2000. The Census Bureau analyzes the data collected and provides in-depth socioeconomic statistics and analyses. For the 2000 Census, economic analyses have not been completed, although race data have been compiled. In order to analyze for environmental justice concerns (be’low), both economic and race data are required. Census block boundaries were redrawn for the 2000 Census. In order to compare equivalent data for environmental justice analyses, 1990 Census data should be used until the socioeconomic data analyses are completed. For this reason, 1990 population statistics are provided below for data consistency purposes.
