Demographics

In order to best describe the cultural landscape of Stafford County and Fredericksburg city, one must analyze the historical conditions that shaped the modern landscape, which will provide insight into present-day demographics as well as future projections. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, settlements in Virginia rapidly spread westward from the Tidewater Region. Navigable rivers provided the means of movement, as settlers sailed into the Piedmont. While large plantations were initially established in a dispersed and decentralized pattern, several towns of small size began to prosper as sites of tobacco shipment inspection. The exploration of the Rappahannock River dates to 1608, when Captain John Smith visited the falls and encountered indigenous Native

The two surveys utilized data from the National Annenberg Election Study. The data was retrieved using Internet and telephone collection methods. An advantage to this method was the utilization of two pools of sampling. The pools were each collected from the Internet, and one telephone. Also, the author used already available data. This significantly reduced the time and financial strain that a survey could take up. The sample was collected through random digit dialing and availability to the Internet. This adds to the reliability of the results. Traditional phone surveys use a set list of phone numbers. This would exclude those who have private or unlisted numbers. This problem is avoided with random digit dialing. The surveys were conducted during four different waves. The waves were from winter, spring, summer, and fall waves. The winter wave resulted in 19,190 respondents. The spring wave resulted in 17, 747 interviews. The summer wave included 20,052 interviews. The fall wave resulted in 19,241 respondents. To be

I started off by gathering research for the demographic factors that would be easy to find for both cities by looking at the US Census database as well as the American Community Survey database. I was able to get through this process fairly quickly because the US Census publishes ‘quick facts’ about each city and I was able to do a side by side comparison between San Jose, CA and St. Louis, MO. After filling out the main demographics, it was time to fill the table with health prevalence rates, number of uninsured people, food insecurity and etc. I was able to find a lot of the health rankings through BRFSS. CDC and County Health Rankings (refer to table for specific information). I used County Health Rankings in the case where I wasn’t able

Sampling is a method by which one can gain an estimation of accuracy for population (Jaggia & Kelly, 2014). Surveying is a form of sampling which is often used to provide an estimate. A survey was conducted on a group of people living in New York City which consisted of 445 randomly selected people from multiple boroughs on a monthly basis for six months. The survey focused on the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Additionally, demographic information was collected, including level of education and marital status. This paper will provide the results of the survey as well as their accuracy of the estimates in order for the New York City governmental agency personnel.

My first demographic variable is “Age”, which is classified as interval level of measurement. The descriptive statistics for age includes the mean which is 2.6093, (SD=.65814) and lastly, the range which is 5.00. Meanwhile, the second demographic variable is “Employment Status”, which is classified as a nominal level of measurement. The descriptive statistics for employment status includes the frequency which is 278 (91.4%) and the mode which is 1.00 for this demographic variable. The last demographic variable is “Ethnicity” and it is once again a nominal level of measurement. We use frequency and mode as out descriptive statistics for this variable. The frequency is 277 (91.1%), but there is no mode for the variable ethnicity. My independent variable asks about gender which is classified as a nominal level of measurement.

The data is from the 2014 American Community survey conducted by the US Census Bureau. The data is measure on a county level and accounts for all members of the county. The variables of focus are the population of the county and foreign born population to calculate the foreign born percentage of each county. Other variables of interest are the working age population and the number of people unemployed to calculate the unemployment rate. Additionally, there is data on mean income per family in the county as well as percentage of families below the poverty lines. Hopefully a combination of these variables will help give a better picture about what has the greatest impact on the percentage of families in poverty. Most of the data is available

To gain sufficient depth and representative results of the UK infancy population, this research will utilise a sample size of 5,000 infants. Additionally, five analyse sites geographically across the UK will be used for the outcome measure testing, and theses site will be located in London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Newcastle, and Glasgow. The research will be recorded at these sites during the 2-year period. Mother will be recruited as healthy women and no medical history, categorized by age boundaries of 27 to 32 years old. Since the women who aged above 35 years old would have a greater risk of general maternal health problems such as high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, which can contribute to complications for both mother and infant. Infants are singleton healthy based on full term, which is 32-42week, weighing ≥2.5 kg at birth, to avoid to disperse the amount of breast milk in case of twin or triplets.

A sociologist would link the two correlated variables socialization and child abuse together and determine how it impacts a child’s social skills. Socialization is a process in which individuals learn to think and act in certain ways based on their social contact and skills. Child abuse occurs when a caregiver is negligent or abusive and cause’s emotional, mental, or physical harm to their children. According to a Miami University article, children that have been abused develop severe social (emotional and behavioral) problems. More than one third of abused children develop language delays (written and oral language is severely impacted) which negatively impacts the socialization of children.

Although the region of Evanston has been making evident progress towards community improvement and sustainability, the issue of poverty and low income still remains. Considering different demographics and factors that make up a community, such as individual and family incomes and school lunch reduction programs, can be significant when evaluating income and poverty tendencies. Before analyzing current trends within Evanston, it can be sensible to research past trends and findings. That being said, according to the 2000 census, it was found that 24% of families were living below the poverty line, which otherwise accounted for 459 families total ("The Social Areas of Cincinnati," 2015). Furthermore, when examining trends from 1990-2000, it was found that the total number of persons living below the poverty line increased by 26%, while the city total actually decreased by 18% ("Plan Cincinnati," 2015). It can also be important when assessing household incomes and poverty lines to consider the average household income within the community in order to properly assess the significance of life in poverty within Evanston. That being said, the median household income within Evanston is only $22,763 (realtor.com, 2015). Although the information regarding the specificity of how far under the poverty line community members of Evanston exist is hard to come by, it should be noted that 35.7% of individuals residing in Evanston live below the poverty line ("Neighborhood Scout,"

Strong: Specific characteristics such as economic level and racial composition were desired and the people in the sample are representative of who the study aimed to look at. 72% of families in Iowa contributed to the study.

Participants in the study were sampled from several mental health outpatient clinics. The community mental health centers were considered a specialty level of care and are located in both urban and rural settings. The patients at the centers are typically referred by primary care provider, emergency department or after an inpatient hospitalization for outpatient mental health treatment and follow-up.

Approximately 1300 athletes from thirty-seven countries competed in Olympics game held in Los Angeles, in 1932. The games commenced on 30th July 1932 and came to an end on 14th August 1932. This participation was considered poor when compared to other Olympic games held before. The poor participation was due to the economic depression that was being experienced worldwide. This made it expensive for participants to travel all the way to California and back. For those who managed to attend, the Olympic village was located in Baldwin Hills, which covered 321 acres (Epting, 2002). All male athletes were hosed in 500 bungalows that had a direct access to a post office, kitchens that served various cuisines, hospitals, and a library. Female participants stayed in hotels down town Los Angeles. For the Los Angeles Coliseum,

Many periodicals or magazines were present in this era. Three of the most popular periodicals were The Cornhill Magazine, Once a Week, and Good Words. Each of the periodicals included a weekly or monthly issue that was fairly low quality in paper and wrapping and sold for cheap. There was also a half-yearly volume that included every issue published in the period of time that was of much better quality and cost much more (Cooke). Most periodicals were aimed at both men and women of any class, but the were often read by men of the working middle class. They could pick up a copy for very little and that would entertain them on railway trips and their workplace (Cooke). Though the periodicals aforementioned were cheap weekly, there were some that

Human demography is an important field especially with our current population and dwindling resources. Our planet has recently exceeded 7.3 billion people, and does not really show any signs of slowing down for the time being (United States Census Bureau 2016). As we continue to grow, our impact on the ecosystems round the world and the species within them will continue to increase, thus making demographics a key issue in many other areas such as economics, biological conservation, and politics to just name a few.
