The 2010 Census
Process and Results
Census 101 (A)

• The decennial census is mandated by the American constitution.


– It’s primary intent is to enumerate residents for apportioning the U.S. House of Representatives.
– A secondary purpose is to enable the “equitable distribution” of funding to state and local governments.
– A tertiary purpose is to support the development of commercial activity through information sharing.
– It is administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.

• For 2010, the decennial census included only the “short-form”


– Collects basic facts of households and the individuals within them plus “group quarters” populations.
– The “long-form” was previously a 16% sample co-incident with the decennial census and used to collect a
number of additional data elements, such as language-use, educational, income, and housing.

• The American Community Survey (ACS) replaced the long-form


– Ongoing survey that provides data every year -- giving communities the current information they need to
plan investments and services.
– Is administered each year to approximately 2 million households and the 2009 county level data became
available last week.

Census 101 (B)

• The Census Bureau is funded completely by tax payers to the tune


of $15 billion for 2010.
– $340 million was dedicated to Census 2010 community outreach, advertising and marketing.

• Among the most salient issues with the census are:


– Representation of economically disadvantaged groups such as ethnic minorities and recent immigrant
populations.
• Who are often reluctant to respond due to either their transient nature or their fear of persecution.

• The Census is still challenged to reach ‘hard-to-count’ population


segments like Un-acculturated Latinos.
– In 2000 Census, it is believed that the Latino under-count was about 0.7% fewer than were counted,
which was 35.3 plus 250k or 37.5 million.
– Congress prohibited census from using estimation probability statistics to adjust the under-count.
– Some believe the under-count was more severe…transient populations more likely missed as well as
those who purposefully over-stay their tourist visa term.

Some key Census shortcomings

• Under-count.
• Confusion over race and ethnicity terminology.
– Countries of origin under race for Asian but separately under Hispanic ethnicity.
– No option to select mestizo or mulatto as race.

• Language:
– In ACS, English ability for non-native speakers but not usage by context.

• Other issues will be seen as published and


scrutinized.

Basic compelling facts

• Hispanics, African Americans and Asians represent over 100 million Americans.
• There are over 50 million Hispanic steady-residents of the U.S.
• Hispanics contributed 52% of overall U.S. population growth between 2000 and 2010.
• Consumer spending growth drives the U.S. economy—Hispanics and Asians
represent a disproportionate amount of the growth into the foreseeable future.
• The White Non-Hispanic population represents a declining share of the American
consumer—and an increasingly dependent on government entitlement programs.
• Most corporations are under-invested in in-culture marketing.
• Corporations must operationalize behind the opportunity, not just marketing.
• Marketing is only part of the equation.
– In-culture operations is a critical parallel step to capitalize on the opportunity.

proportions vary dramatically at the state and metropolitan area levels. Many companies include Puerto
Rico within their U.S. marketing efforts, with an estimated 3.99 million residents in 2010.

Median Household Income by Culture Group

Asians top the list in terms of annual household income, due in part to both the disproportionately large number in working
age cohorts and to their higher levels of educational attainment. Hispanics are about 17 percent below the overall median.

• Great advertising is a start.


• Customer relationship management is fundamental.
– Genuine client service to accommodate (and invite) diversity of cultures is key to success
of any enterprise.

• The danger of half-commitment.


– “BizBase Segment 7734.”
• One person consults the organization on multicultural marketing.
• Little or No direct budget authority.
• Expected to evangelize and “Hispanicize” initiatives.
• Great expectations not normally great returns.
• Delaying the inevitable disappointment until appropriate resources are committed.
