Demography

1. Community and Family Profile 1.1. Demography According to 2012-2016 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates, the population is 106,981 and the number of households is 29,756. Latino population accounts for 77 percent in Pilsen and 84 percent in Little Village. In terms of family households, they account for 69 percent of total households. The average size of the family households is 3.97. Also, 54 percent of the family households have children under 18 years and 90 percent are Latino

is defined as the study of spatial pattern and spatial organization of human activities and people’s relationships with their environment. The study of spatial organization of human activities is extremely important as it allows us to understand demography, the study of the characteristics of human populations. Demographics allow geographers and government agencies to look at population data from the past and the present to predict future trends in population growth or decline (Knox, 2013, p.2, 99-101)

Overview When considering the growth of the world’s population there Is a concentrated look at Four Main factors with a fifth element now ,slowly becoming a large factor.They are fertility rates, mortality rates (life expectancy), the initial age profile of the population (whether it is comparatively old or relatively young to begin with), migration, and now religion, where focus is placed on migrating to or from a particular faction. The forces behind population change Population Change:A view

Introduction "One would have thought that it was even more necessary to limit population than property...The neglect of this subject, which in existing states is so common, is a never-failing cause of poverty among the citizens; and poverty is the parent of both revolution and crime." This quote did not come from any professional doomsayer or modern writer, or even an ecologist or a historian. Aristotle said this, though he lived in a time where the population was four percent of what it is today

V.) Study Design and Methodology: We will use mixed-method. Quantitative and qualitative methods provide complementarity to elaborate the problems we want to address. To be specific, qualitative data can help us to see a big picture and verify the disparity of accessing to ANC between the rural-to-urban migrant population and non-migrant population. Qualitative data can make up for the absent individual experiences and factors during accessing ANC among rural-to-urban migrant women, health providers

overall flow of people coming in and out of a country, where a positive NMR would mean more people are migrating into a country than leaving it, and a negative NMR would mean people are leaving than entering. Migration is important in studying demography because it is one of the three primary demographic components that influence population size, composition, and distribution changes. Although it is births and deaths that mainly impact population changes because they are the major demographic events

Maci Maldonado – Location Analysis Project on Spain The purpose of the Location Analysis Project is to choose an unfamiliar country, and to analyze it in order to better understand geographic concepts, and their effects or impacts on that country. My chosen country is Spain. It is located in the beautiful southwest region of Europe to which I have not spent much prior time studying. I do know that there is much more to learn about Spain other than knowing inhabitants speak Spanish and more than

Demographic Changes in America (1607-1914) Historical records of American demography start with the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. Puritans landed in Plymouth and made a home for themselves with the help of Native Americans. These first immigrants in the colonies (British, Dutch, and German), moved to America between the early 17th and late 18th centuries in what was known as Old Immigration. During the colonial period, the birth rate was high but the life expectancy was low. It was

Inferno, a chillingly grim picture of a potential future, is a wonderful piece of satire. The novel depicts a bleak world in the very near future of a human race on the brink of extinction. Through most of the novel, writer Dan Brown methodically tricks readers into believing the wrong things until the tense climax and the sudden realization of wrong hypotheses. Furthermore, the dismal predictions he projects of our fragile world seem hell-bent on becoming true. With scintillating wit, he takes on

Background History China’s population growth began to increase during the Ming Dynasty, and increased dramatically throughout Qing. The population grew around 65million in the late 14th century to more than 400 million in 1949 (Spengler 1962: 112). Since the People Republic of China was founded, Mao had seen the population growth as favorable to industrialization, and he believed that population growth empowered the country (Potts 2006). In the 1950s, the government began to realize that the food
