Census data

edit

For racial and ethnic data, be sure to specify White (non-Hispanic) and Black (non-Hispanic) when presenting this data. Also, no need to capitalize "racial", "composition", or "census"; the latter article title is 2020 United States census. Lastly, no need to provide 1990 census data. Bneu2013 (talk) 20:28, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Usually when editors add wonky charts and other cruft to articles it looks terrible and does little to improve the article. Your racial charts are refreshingly clean and informative, and your sourcing is spot on. Thank you for your hard work. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:23, 11 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
My only complaint would be them leaving extra spaces typically at the end of the demographics section, alongside not reading through information if it already states 2020. I'm having to redo all of some state's settlement articles because of those issues. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 15:32, 5 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi CarolinaLuxRay. Great work with the census charts. I would like to follow your model. If I might make a few suggestions.

  • I think we should clarify that the data is excluding Hispanics from the racial categories (basically treating them as if they were a separate race so Hispanic whites/blacks/Asians/multi-racial are excluded from the racial categories)
  • Mixed race should not be merged with "some other race" since they are totally different categories (the latter is very volatile e.g. Klingon and the former is getting increasing usage as people are more comfortable checking more than one box)
  • The links should link to the actual article (for example Black > African-Americans rather than Race and the US Census
  • We should have a total number
  • The citation needs to be beefed up so people know where to look on the census page. Tables don't change but the link can (not sure why the census changes the link so much)

I updated a chart for Anderson County, South Carolina to include my suggestions. I assume you are using an excel spreadsheet to update the numbers for speed so it would be pretty easy to adjust. Let me know what you think. Cheers! Patapsco913 (talk) 19:01, 17 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Slow down a bit, will you?

edit

Adding these statistics for the 2020 census is great, however you seem to be rushing. In several articles for other states, I've had to come and clean up an unintended mess, because you did not seem to read through the whole contents of the demography sections. Pace yourself, please is all I request. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 04:04, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Could you please add explanatory notes as footnotes, and not at the bottom of a table. Please see Help:Footnotes. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please respond. I see you are still doing this at Lufkin, Texas. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:49, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
You're still doing it. Please figure out how to add a note. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:29, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Please see the edits made to Sneads, Florida. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:39, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I thought i was doing well, but your adjustment with Sneads is much cleaner! Just did the same edit with Ashland, and i'm going to get around to the rest of my recent Mississippi edits next. CarolinaLuxray (talk) 18:50, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Great. Also, no need to bolding or italics. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:17, 20 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Census data procedure?

edit

Do you have an outline of the procedure you use to get the 2020 census data? I get bogged down in trying to figure out which products to filter for on data.census.gov. Thanks!
Xenophore; talk 19:17, 20 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I actually don't have to filter any products, believe it or not.
I simply go here, enter the name of the county/parish/city/town/village/CDP/township/etc. that i want to add the 2020 census data to, and when i click on the big blue link at the top (which can take a few tries to get the exact place i'm looking for sometimes), i put the population and households into the Notepad template that i have, and the Hispanic population into the goodcalculators.com pie chart that i keep up on another tab.
For the number of families, i look for the S1101 table (Families and Household Characteristics), and for the full racial data, i look for the P2 table (which should be right underneath Hispanic or Latino in Race and Ethnicity). Once i have that up, i copy and paste my template into the Wikipedia page, enter the values into each column with the pie chart assisting me with percentages, cite the decennial link, and voila!

Thanks! I'll check that out! Xenophore; talk 16:44, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Special request

edit

Hi, I am going to be going over and adjusting the contributions to as many Texas articles as possible—similar to what I've done for Louisiana articles you have contributed toward. In the meanwhile, I desperately need your help with updating settlement articles in New Mexico, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa. I am just about exhausted, and need to know your ways to edit so quickly with the adjustments I can provide, but not too fast though. Steady is the way fellow Wikipedian. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 00:21, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I was expecting a message from you at some point.
How am i able to make so many edits in a day, when i'm not exhausted? Well, simple...i have the source code for my racial data tables saved in a text file on my computer, and in my sandbox. All i have to do is go into the source editor, copy and paste the table i want to use (city or county), and adjust everything from there via the method in the above response to Xenophore. Not the fastest or even easiest way of getting information, but it's the best place i've found so far...if there's another site out there with the same 2020 Census data that's more easier to access than from the official Census site, i either don't know of it yet, or someone needs to tell me where it is.
I am actually interested in four of the seven states that you mentioned, and i can't decide whether Kentucky or Missouri will be the first of the four that i target next with updating settlements. But it won't be where i go right after finishing Texas...instead, i'll be returning to Florida right after. But after i knock the Sunshine State out, i'll definitely be giving either Kentucky or Missouri a visit. Request accepted. CarolinaLuxray (talk) 00:30, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Who doesn't expect me at some point? ;) HA! Sorry, couldn't resist. But anyway, I will follow up behind you from now if you request however to better adjust the information and prevent further redundancy in some articles with at least a little bit of 2020 information posted. Just, be sure to update the lede to articles as well with the 2020 population if possible. And, noted to the source! - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 00:35, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'll make sure to do that. Already updated the 2020 population for two municipalities, and i will do the same with every other settlement article that i update from now on. I'll also look into adding population density, housing unit average density and maybe even detailed household information at some point.
Also, i've noticed on a few of your article edits, that the sub-headings telling an article viewer which Census the information is for were removed. I'm guessing it's not really that necessary to separate them on most articles? CarolinaLuxray (talk) 11:23, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Wonderful, and correct! - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 13:39, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

A glass of Sharbat for you
Here is a glass of Sharbat for you. Sharbat is a popular Indian and West and South Asian drink that is prepared from fruits or flower petals. It is sweet and served chilled. It can be served in concentrate form and eaten with a spoon or diluted with water to create the drink. Thanks for all the cool stuff you're doing with the 2020 census data! Saw one of your recent edits to Frisco, Texas
Thank you.

Thanks for the glass! I'll definitely try it now that i've finished updating all the Texas settlements that i felt like.
And no problem. Maybe if i'm still around then, i'll be the one to update the racial data for Frisco to the 2030 census report. CarolinaLuxray (talk) 17:55, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion for county and city articles

edit

Hey, when doing demographic updates with the latest census information, I would love to offer this style as a suggestion: first, the demographic table goes with the usual "has a population of" and the families and households as you have done. Then, I would from then on state after that, "the racial and ethnic makeup of this city or county as of the 2020 U.S. census (or whichever occurs) was: 100% this, 100% that; the Hispanic or Latino population of any race made up 100% of the population." Upon completing this, I'd suggest another set of sentences is added with the following: "the city or county had a median household income of with a mean income at..." and "10% of the population lived at or below the poverty line." That just keeps the information simple and proper. ;) - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 20:57, 27 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

So, pretty much just keep the demographic tables how they are, along with telling the viewer how many people, households and families reside in said location, and then just state the following sentences you've suggested? Sure, i can do that. But i'll have to find the tables on census.gov for at least population density and housing unit density per square mile first. CarolinaLuxray (talk) 22:00, 28 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, and wonderful! Also, how many states total have you done so far? And which are left to go? - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 16:17, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Of all the communities i've felt like updating (i've obviously left out more than a few smaller towns, as i didn't find them as interesting, and expect that trend to continue), i've gone through Alabama, Arkansas, parts of Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas. Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia will be the next three i work on after Florida is finished. CarolinaLuxray (talk) 16:21, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
