 8. Write a few sentences highligh ng the interes ng informa on you discovered in analyzing your two
communi es with Table B03002. What similari es do you see? What di erences? (5 pts for accuracy; 5
pts for insight and though ulness)
I did realize the percentage for both communi es when it came to the “Not Hispanic or La no” Column were
pre y close which didn’t really suprise me since I have lived in both communi es and have witnessed it rst
hand. Also the the Hispanic and La no comparison was very o , I mean it was 4.16% to 14.44% which
shocked me a li le bit. I realized while doing this assignment that I am learning certain things more and more
each day about these communi es that I would’ve never guessed while living there. I feel pre y great about
this project.
