Census Data and Maps on Micronesian in U.S.

Yokwe all, I've just launched a website of U.S. Census 2000 data on Micronesians, including Marshallese, living in the U.S. Also on the site are state maps of key variables. [url]http://www3.uakron.edu/majuro/Demos/[/url] These are all Micronesians, and not just Marshallese. The data refer to just the Micronesians in the location. For instance, on the Costa Mesa data sheet: Median household income in 1999 $36,806 This is the median (midpoint) household income for MICRONESIANS in Costa Mesa, and not all of Costa Mesa. [url]http://www3.uakron.edu/majuro/Demos/Costa-Mesa-City-Cen2000-SF4-Micronesian-Profile.htm[/url] [Link might not survive posting.] The same goes for the maps. The displayed data are for the Micronesians in the population, and not the whole population. With the help of my grad. asst., I listed all areas for which I have Micronesian specific data. If you are looking for a state, county or city (i.e. Newark, N.J.) and it is not on the list, the data are suppressed. This means that there are too few Micronesians, and reporting the variables, especially money might reveal specifics about certain families. ("Gee, there is only family with 4 children living with their grandmother in town, and it lists the median income for these households as $43,200....) Hop down the links to the Census Bureau to get more specifics on the dataset. Use anything on the page, and cite it if appropriate. If you need "general" (not specific to any ethnic group) Census profiles for your community, e-mail me DIRECTLY, and I can send these to you. Be specific, as there are a lot of Jefferson Counties in the U.S. If these data are for some social service, school, or a home study, please indicate that. I have profiles on poverty, age, housing type and education that are very useful for community organizations. Disclaimer: the page probably needs a bit of tweaking, as I haven't checked every link from a different computer. I'll try to get to it sooner, rather than later.
