It seemed appropriate to stay organized and efficient considering school has only just begun. Therefore, I wanted to talk about my census tract. I live considerably close to Liz, "Little Italy" therefore the example shown in class was fantastic for me.
It is just amazing how much research must go into one single census. Personally, I would never graze the census site in my spare time; however I was fairly amused in class today. I know censuses are significantly important since it serves a greater purpose other than UPP 202 entertainment,obviously! However, all that work had to be a pain in the (beep)without technology way back in the day.
Overall, the census is out of date. The projects have been torn down and relocation probably would alter the demographics dramatically. I believe the University brings huge diversity to the area compared to other parts of the city. However many of the native residents still reside in the neighborhood. I work at one of the oldest family owned restaurants in the area; therefore I am familiar with many of the families that reside in this neighborhood. I have to disagree with the majority of "types" of households in the area. I think the majority of households would be families living around the neighborhood in comparison to college students.
