Popular Demographics

Demography is the science of human populations and their change over time, and the United States Census reveals important demographic changes decade-by-decade that affect politics, government and public policy. One of the most important demographic trends is that the U.S. has become a far more multicultural and multilingual society than it was in 1960, due in part from changes in the immigration laws in 1965 that abolished the quota system of the National Origins Act that favored European immigrants. As a result, Asians and Hispanics have been the majority of new immigrants over the past forty years and states like California and Texas already have majority-minority populations or soon will have. At some point in the 21st Century, the U.S. as a whole is going to become a majority-minority society for the first time in its history. Another major demographic trend is the rapid growth of the over-65 population as the Baby Boom generation begins to retire, which will mean heavier expenditures on federal entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security. Elderly voters are also the most politically active group, especially when protecting these key safety net programs, and this has become a major political and public policy issue in recent years.

In “The Popular Crowd” written by Jake Halpern, the main point Halpern makes is people are becoming lonelier as time and technology develop. Many people may even be unaware of the loneliness they have, and therefore it can cause a lot of different emotions.

Results also show an increase of population in metropolitan and suburb areas of the older people. Baby boomers are called the first suburban generation, because their parents were the first to populate the suburbs during the postwar period.

The Young Ladies Journal, (1864-1920) was the first successful magazine directed toward young females. The advances of the Victorian women’s movement can be seen in the depiction of girlhood defined in pages of magazines such as “The Young Ladies Journal”.

Marshall County Schools are located in Marshall County, Alabama. The county is surrounded by Madison and Jackson Counties to the north, Morgan County to the west, Cullman, Blount, and Etowah Counties to the south, and DeKalb County to the east.

This combined with the fact the Marshall County has such a high poverty rate in general (currently slightly above 81%) has left the county school system with little in regards to a local feasible and workable revenue source.

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.
