Introduction This is the first edition of Profiles of North Carolina & South Carolina – Facts, Figures & Statistics for 849 Populated Places in North Carolina and 435 Populated Places in South Carolina. As for the other titles in our State Profiles series, we built this work using content from Grey House Publishing’s awardwinning Profiles of America – a 4-volume compilation of data on more than 42,000 places in the United States. We have updated and included the North Carolina and South Carolina chapters from Profiles of America, and added entire fresh chapters of demographic information and ranking sections, so that Profiles of North Carolina & South Carolina is the most comprehensive portrait of these states. From bustling urban centers to hard-to-find outposts, this reference work includes data on all populated communities and counties in both North Carolina and South Carolina. As clearly defined in the Table of Contents, it is arranged as two separate books. Each state section has its own User’s Guide and its own seven major sections that cover everything from Education to Ethnic Backgrounds to Climate. All sections include Comparative Statistics or Rankings, and full-color Maps at the back of the book provide valuable information in a quickly processed, visual format. Here’s an overview of each section: 1. Profiles These sections, organized by county, give detailed profiles of all places plus counties, and is based on the 2000 Census. This core Census data has been so extensively updated, however, that nearly 80% of these sections have 2006 numbers. In addition, we have added current government statistics and original research, so that these profiles pull together statistical and descriptive information on every Censusrecognized place in both states. Major fields of information include:

Geography Ancestry Economy

Housing Transportation Industry

Education

Religion

Population

Climate

Health

In addition to place profiles, these sections include Alphabetical Place Indexes and Comparative Statistics that compare both states 100 largest communities by dozens of data points. 2. Education These sections begin with an Educational State Profile, summarizing number of schools, students, diplomas granted and educational dollars spent. Following the state profile are School District Rankings on 16 topics ranging from Teacher/Student Ratios to High School Drop-Out Rates. Following these rankings are National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Grade 3 Pretest, End-ofGrade (EOG), and End-of-Course (EOC) results for North Carolina and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests (PACT), End-of-Course Examination Program (EOCEP), and High School Assessment Program (HSAP) results for South Carolina. 3. Ancestry These sections provide a detailed look at the ancestral and racial makeup of each state’s 217 ethnic categories, and are ranked three ways: 1) by number, based on all places regardless of population; 2) by percent, based on all places regardless of population; 3) by percent, based on places with populations of 10,000 or more. You will discover, for example, where to find the greatest number of Lithuanians in the state, and what percentage of the population of specific places are of German ancestry.

4. Hispanic Population These sections define North Carolina’s and South Carolina’s Hispanic population by 23 Hispanic backgrounds from Argentinian to Venezuelan. For each state, it ranks each of 15 categories, from Median Age to Median Home Value, by each Hispanic background. For example, you’ll see which community has the highest percentage of Puerto Ricans who speak English-only at home, and where in the state to find the highest percentage of Mexicans who are four-year college graduates. 5. Asian Population Similar in format to the sections on Hispanic Population, these sections define North Carolina’s and South Carolina’s Asian population by 21 Asian backgrounds from Bangladeshi to Vietnamese. It ranks each of 14 categories, from Median Age to Median Home Value, by each Asian background. For example, you’ll see which community has the highest percentage of Asian Indians who are homeowners, and where in the state to find the highest percentage of Chinese who are high school graduates. 6. Climate This important topic is explored in detail in these sections, which include State Summaries, maps of the state’s weather stations, and profiles of both National and Cooperative Weather Stations. In addition, you’ll find Weather Station Rankings where you’ll see, for example, who reported the highest annual snowfall over the 30-year reporting period. These sections also include current Storm data, with the most destructive weather events ranked by both fatalities and property damage, from 1982-2007. Here you will learn, for example, where F4 tornadoes caused major property damage, and how many fatalities in each state were blamed on extreme cold. 7. Maps For a more visual point of view, there are 32 full-color maps – 16 for each state -- at the back of the book. They provide information on topics such as Population Demographics, Median Age, Income, Median Home Value, Educational Attainment, and another look at who voted for George Bush in 2004. Note: Extensive User’s Guides are included for both North Carolina and South Carolina. They are segmented into six sections and examine, in some detail, each data field in the individual profiles and comparative sections for all chapters. They provide sources for all data points and statistical definitions as necessary. Please see the Table of Contents for specific page numbers.

Profiles of North Carolina & South Carolina

North Carolina / User’s Guide: Profiles

User’s Guide: Profiles PLACES COVERED All 100 counties. 540 incorporated municipalities. Comprised of 78 cities, 20 villages, and 442 towns. 115 census designated places (CDP). The U.S. Bureau of the Census defines a CDP as “a statistical entity, defined for each decennial census according to Census Bureau guidelines, comprising a densely settled concentration of population that is not within an incorporated place, but is locally identified by a name. CDPs are delineated cooperatively by state and local officials and the Census Bureau, following Census Bureau guidelines. Beginning with Census 2000 there are no size limits.” 194 unincorporated communities. The communities included have both their own zip code and statistics for their ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) available from the Census Bureau. They are referred to as “postal areas.” A ZCTA is a statistical entity developed by the Census Bureau to approximate the delivery area for a US Postal Service 5-digit or 3-digit ZIP Code in the US and Puerto Rico. A ZCTA is an aggregation of census blocks that have the same predominant ZIP Code associated with the mailing addresses in the Census Bureau’s Master Address File. Thus, the Postal Service’s delivery areas have been adjusted to encompass whole census blocks so that the Census Bureau can tabulate census data for the ZCTAs. ZCTAs do not include all ZIP Codes used for mail delivery and therefore do not precisely depict the area within which mail deliveries associated with that ZIP Code occur. Additionally, some areas that are known by a unique name, although they are part of a larger incorporated place, are also included as “postal areas.”

Important Notes Unincorporated communities that span multiple zip codes are not included in this book. In each community profile, only school districts that have schools that are physically located within the community are shown. In addition, statistics for each school district cover the entire district, regardless of the physical location of the schools within the district. Special care should be taken when interpreting certain statistics for communities containing large colleges or universities. College students were counted as residents of the area in which they were living while attending college (as they have been since the 1950 census). One effect this may have is skewing the figures for population, income, housing, and educational attainment. Some information (e.g. unemployment rates) is available for both counties and individual communities. Other information is available for just counties (e.g. election results), or just individual communities (e.g. local newspapers). Some statistical information is available only for larger communities. In addition, the larger places are more apt to have services such as newspapers, airports, school districts, etc. For the most complete information on any community, you should also check the entry for the county in which the community is located. In addition, more information and services will be listed under the larger places in the county. For a more in-depth discussion of geographic areas, please refer to the Census Bureau’s Geographic Areas Reference Manual at http://www.census.gov/geo/www/garm.html.

DATA SOURCES CENSUS 2000 The parts of the data which are from the 2000 Decennial Census are from the following sources: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary Files 1 and 3. Summary File 3 (SF 3) consists of 813 detailed tables of Census 2000 social, economic and housing characteristics compiled from a sample of approximately 19 million housing units (about 1 in 6 households) that received the Census 2000 long-form questionnaire. Summary File 1 (SF 1) contains 286 tables focusing on age, sex, households, families, and housing units. This file presents 100-percent population and housing figures for the total population, for 63 race categories, and for many other race and Hispanic or Latino categories. Comparing SF 3 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 3 and values in SF 1 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 3 will, however, match the SF 1 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas, whereas SF 3 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 3 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile. 2006 Estimates and 2011 Projections Some 2000 Census data has been updated with data provided by Claritas. Founded in 1971, Claritas is the industry leader in applied demography and the preeminent provider of small-area demographic estimates.

White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “White” or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish. Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “Black, African American, or Negro,” or provide written entries such as African American, Afro-American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian. Asian. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Korean,” “Japanese,” “Vietnamese,” and “Other Asian.” Hispanic. The data on the Hispanic or Latino population, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 5, and short-form questionnaire Item 7. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms, while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire — “Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban” — as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race.

Population Density: 2006 population estimate divided by the land area in square miles. Source: Claritas; U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 1. Average Household Size: Average household size was calculated by dividing the total population by the total number of households. Figures are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Median Age: Figures are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Male/Female Ratio: Number of males per 100 females. Figures are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Marital Status: Percentage of population never married, now married, widowed, or divorced. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The marital status classification refers to the status at the time of enumeration. Data on marital status are tabulated only for the population 15 years old and over. Each person was asked whether they were “Now married,” “Widowed,” “Divorced,” or “Never married.” Couples who live together (for example, people in common-law marriages) were able to report the marital status they considered to be the most appropriate.

Never married. Never married includes all people who have never been married, including people whose only marriage(s) was annulled. Now married. All people whose current marriage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This category includes people defined as “separated.” Widowed. This category includes widows and widowers who have not remarried. Divorced. This category includes people who are legally divorced and who have not remarried.

Foreign Born: Percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. Ancestry: Largest ancestry groups reported (up to five). Includes multiple ancestries. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The data represent self-classification by people according to the ancestry group or groups with which they most closely identify. Ancestry refers to a person’s ethnic origin or descent, “roots,” heritage, or the place of birth of the person, the person’s parents, or their ancestors before their arrival in the United States. Some ethnic identities, such as Egyptian or Polish, can be traced to geographic areas outside the United States, while other ethnicities such as Pennsylvania German or Cajun evolved in the United States. The ancestry question was intended to provide data for groups that were not included in the Hispanic origin and race questions. Therefore, although data on all groups are collected, the ancestry data shown in these tabulations are for non-Hispanic and non-race groups. Hispanic and race groups are included in the ‘‘Other groups’’ category for the ancestry tables in these tabulations. The ancestry question allowed respondents to report one or more ancestry groups, although only the first two were coded. If a response was in terms of a dual ancestry, for example, “Irish English,” the person was assigned two codes, in this case one for Irish and another for English. However, in certain cases, multiple responses such as “French Canadian,” “Greek Cypriote,” and “Scotch Irish” were assigned a single code reflecting their status as unique groups. If a person reported one of these unique groups in addition to another group, for example, “Scotch Irish English,” resulting in three terms, that person received one code for the unique group (Scotch-Irish) and another one for the remaining group (English). If a person reported “English Irish French,” only English and Irish were coded. Certain combinations of ancestries where the ancestry group is a part of another, such as “German-Bavarian,” were coded as a single ancestry using the more specific group (Bavarian). Also, responses such as “Polish-American” or “Italian-American” were coded and tabulated as a single entry (Polish or Italian). The Census Bureau accepted “American” as a unique ethnicity if it was given alone, with an ambiguous response, or with state names. If the respondent listed any other ethnic identity such as “Italian-American,” generally the “American” portion of the response was not coded. However, distinct groups such as “American Indian,” “Mexican American,” and “African American” were coded and identified separately because they represented groups who considered themselves different from those who reported as “Indian,” “Mexican,” or “African,” respectively. The data is based on the total number of ancestries reported and coded. Thus, the sum of the counts in this type of presentation is not the total population but the total of all responses.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Manufacturing and Construction Division (http://www.census.gov/const/www/permitsindex.html). Statistics on housing units authorized by building permits include housing units issued in local permit-issuing jurisdictions by a building or zoning permit. Not all areas of the country require a building or zoning permit. The statistics only represent those areas that do require a permit. Current surveys indicate that construction is undertaken for all but a very small percentage of housing units authorized by building permits. A major portion typically get under way during the month of permit issuance and most of the remainder begin within the three following months. Because of this lag, the housing unit authorization statistics do not represent the number of units actually put into construction for the period shown, and should therefore not be directly interpreted as “housing starts.” Statistics are based upon reports submitted by local building permit officials in response to a mail survey. They are obtained using Form C-404 const/www/c404.pdf, “Report of New Privately-Owned Residential Building or Zoning Permits Issued.” When a report is not received, missing data are either (1) obtained from the Survey of Use of Permits (SUP) which is used to collect information on housing starts, or (2) imputed based on the assumption that the ratio of current month authorizations to those of a year ago should be the same for reporting and non-reporting places.

Per Capita Income: Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Median Household Income: Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Average Household Income: Average household income is obtained by dividing total household income by the total number of households. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Percent of Households with Income of $100,000 or more: Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Poverty Rate: Percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two-dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold.

Year structure built refers to when the building was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. For housing units under construction that met the housing unit definition—that is, all exterior windows, doors, and final usable floors were in place—the category “1999 or 2000" was used for tabulations. For mobile homes, houseboats, RVs, etc, the manufacturer’s model year was assumed to be the year built.

The Survey of Business Owners (SBO), formerly known as the Surveys of Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (SMOBE/SWOBE), provides statistics that describe the composition of U.S. businesses by gender, Hispanic or Latino origin, and race. Additional statistics include owner's age, education level, veteran status, and primary function in the business; family- and home-based businesses; types of customers and workers; and sources of financing for expansion, capital improvements, or start-up. Economic policymakers in federal, state and local governments use the SBO data to understand conditions of business success and failure by comparing census-to-census changes in business performances and by comparing minority-/nonminority- and women-/men-owned businesses.

Multi-Family Building Permits Issued: Building permits issued for new, multi-family housing units in 2006. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Manufacturing and Construction Division (http://www.census.gov/const/www/permitsindex.html). Statistics on housing units authorized by building permits include housing units issued in local permit-issuing jurisdictions by a building or zoning permit. Not all areas of the country require a building or zoning permit. The statistics only represent those areas that do require a permit. Current surveys indicate that construction is undertaken for all but a very small percentage of housing units authorized by building permits. A major portion typically get under way during the month of permit issuance and most of the remainder begin within the three following months. Because of this lag, the housing unit authorization statistics do not represent the number of units actually put into construction for the period shown, and should therefore not be directly interpreted as “housing starts.” Statistics are based upon reports submitted by local building permit officials in response to a mail survey. They are obtained using Form C-404 const/www/c404.pdf, “Report of New Privately-Owned Residential Building or Zoning Permits Issued.” When a report is not received, missing data are either (1) obtained from the Survey of Use of Permits (SUP) which is used to collect information on housing starts, or (2) imputed based on the assumption that the ratio of current month authorizations to those of a year ago should be the same for reporting and non-reporting places. INCOME Per Capita Income: Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Median Household Income: Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas.

Median Home Value: Median value of all owner-occupied housing units as reported by the owner. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Median Rent: Median monthly contract rent on specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family houses on 10 acres or more. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. Median Age of Housing: Median age of housing was calculated by subtracting median year structure built from 2000 (e.g. if the median year structure built is 1967, the median age of housing in that area is 33 years — 2000 minus 1967). Year structure built refers to when the building was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. For housing units under construction that met the housing unit definition—that is, all exterior windows, doors, and final usable floors were in place—the category “1999 or 2000" was used for tabulations. For mobile homes, houseboats, RVs, etc, the manufacturer’s model year was assumed to be the year built. The data relate to the number of units built during the specified periods that were still in existence at the time of enumeration.

Age-adjusted Cancer Mortality Rate: Number of age-adjusted deaths from cancer per 100,000 population in 2004. Cancer is defined as International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes C00 - D48.9 Neoplasms. Source: Centers for Disease Control, CDC Wonder (http://wonder.cdc.gov). Age-adjusted death rates are weighted averages of the age-specific death rates, where the weights represent a fixed population by age. They are used because the rates of almost all causes of death vary by age. Age adjustment is a technique for “removing” the effects of age from crude rates, so as to allow meaningful comparisons across populations with different underlying age structures. For example, comparing the crude rate of heart disease in New York to that of California is misleading, because the relatively older population in New York will lead to a higher crude death rate, even if the age-specific rates of heart disease in New York and California are the same. For such a comparison, age-adjusted rates would be preferable. Age-adjusted rates should be viewed as relative indexes rather than as direct or actual measures of mortality risk. Death rates based on counts of twenty or less (<=20) are flagged as “Unreliable”. Death rates based on fewer than three years of data for counties with populations of less than 100,000 in the 1990 Census counts, are also flagged as “Unreliable” if the number of deaths is five or less (<=5). Air Quality Index: The percentage of days in 2006 the AQI fell into the Good (0-50), Moderate (51-100), Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101-150), and Unhealthy (151+) ranges. Data covers January 2006 through December 2006. Counties with less than 100 days of air quality data were excluded. Source: Air Quality Index Report, 2006, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Air and Radiation (http://www.epa.gov/oar). The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health concerns you should be aware of. The AQI focuses on health effects that can happen within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA uses the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect against harmful health effects. The AQI runs from 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health danger. For example, an AQI value of 50 represents good air quality and little potential to affect public health, while an AQI value over 300 represents hazardous air quality. An AQI value of 100 generally corresponds to the national air quality standard for the pollutant, which is the level EPA has set to protect public health. So, AQI values below 100

are generally thought of as satisfactory. When AQI values are above 100, air quality is considered to be unhealthy—at first for certain sensitive groups of people, then for everyone as AQI values get higher. Each category corresponds to a different level of health concern. For example, when the AQI for a pollutant is between 51 and 100, the health concern is “Moderate.” Here are the six levels of health concern and what they mean:

• • •

• • •

“Good” The AQI value for your community is between 0 and 50. Air quality is considered satisfactory and air pollution poses little or no risk. “Moderate” The AQI for your community is between 51 and 100. Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of individuals. For example, people who are unusually sensitive to ozone may experience respiratory symptoms. “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” Certain groups of people are particularly sensitive to the harmful effects of certain air pollutants. This means they are likely to be affected at lower levels than the general public. For example, children and adults who are active outdoors and people with respiratory disease are at greater risk from exposure to ozone, while people with heart disease are at greater risk from carbon monoxide. Some people may be sensitive to more than one pollutant. When AQI values are between 101 and 150, members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected when the AQI is in this range. “Unhealthy” AQI values are between 151 and 200. Everyone may begin to experience health effects. Members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. “Very Unhealthy” AQI values between 201 and 300 trigger a health alert, meaning everyone may experience more serious health effects. “Hazardous” AQI values over 300 trigger health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.

North Carolina Statewide Testing Results Elementary & Middle Grades: Grades 3-8 use the end-of-grade tests in reading and mathematics, writing assessments at grades 4 and 7, and computer skills tests at grade 8. The NCAAP (NC Alternate Assessment Portfolio), NC EXTEND2 and NCCLAS (NC Checklist of Academic Standards) alternate assessments are used for certain students with disabilities. A pre-test is given at the start of the third grade since there is no end-of-grade test in the second grade to provide a benchmark to determine expected growth. For students in grades K-2, special assessments are used to chart students’ academic progress and are not included in the ABCs reports. High Schools: At the high school level, there are ten mandated end-of-course tests: Algebra I, Algebra II, Biology, Chemistry, English I, Geometry, Physical Science, Physics, US History, and Civics and Economics.

North Carolina / User’s Guide: Ancestry

User’s Guide: Ancestry Places Covered The ranking tables are based on 655 places in North Carolina (except where noted). Places covered fall into one of the following categories: 540 incorporated municipalities. Municipalities are incorporated as either cities or towns. 115 census designated places (CDP). The U.S. Bureau of the Census defines a CDP as “a statistical entity, defined for each decennial census according to Census Bureau guidelines, comprising a densely settled concentration of population that is not within an incorporated place, but is locally identified by a name. CDPs are delineated cooperatively by state and local officials and the Census Bureau, following Census Bureau guidelines. Beginning with Census 2000 there are no size limits.”

Source of Data The ancestries shown in this chapter were compiled from three different sections of the 2000 Census: Race; Hispanic Origin; and Ancestry. While the ancestries are sorted alphabetically for ease-of-use, it’s important to note the origin of each piece of data. Data for Race and Hispanic Origin was taken from Summary File 1 (SF1) while Ancestry data was taken from Summary File 3 (SF3). The distinction is important because SF1 contains the 100-percent data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of all people and about every housing unit. SF3 was compiled from a sample of approximately 19 million housing units (about 1 in 6 households) that received the Census 2000 long-form questionnaire.

Ancestries Based on Race The data on race were derived from answers to the question on race that was asked of all people. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups. If an individual did not provide a race response, the race or races of the householder or other household members were assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if race was missing for a natural-born child in the household, then either the race or races of the householder, another natural-born child, or the spouse of the householder were assigned. If race was not reported for anyone in the household, the race or races of a householder in a previously processed household were assigned.

African American or Black: A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Black, African Am., or Negro,’’ or provide written entries such as African American, Afro American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian. American Indian or Alaska Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. It includes people who classified themselves as described below. American Indian - Includes people who indicated their race as “American Indian,” entered the name of an Indian tribe, or reported such entries as Canadian Indian, French American Indian, or Spanish-American Indian. Respondents who identified themselves as American Indian were asked to report their enrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data in tabulations reflect the written entries reported on the questionnaires. Some of the entries (for example, Iroquois, Sioux, Colorado River, and Flathead) represent nations or reservations. The information on tribe is based on self identification and therefore does not reflect any designation of federally or state-recognized tribe. Information on American Indian tribes is presented in summary files. The information for Census 2000 is derived from the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census that was updated based on a December 1997 Federal Register Notice, entitled “Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Service From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs,” Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by the Office of Management and Budget. Alaska Native - Includes written responses of Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians, as well as entries such as Arctic Slope, Inupiat, Yupik, Alutiiq, Egegik, and Pribilovian. The Alaska tribes are the Alaskan Athabascan, Tlingit, and Haida. The information for Census 2000 is based on the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census, which was expanded to list the individual Alaska Native Villages when provided as a written response for race.

The data on the Hispanic or Latino population were derived from answers to a question that was asked of all people. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire (“Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban”) as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race. In all cases where the origin of households, families, or occupied housing units is classified as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino, the origin of the householder is used. If an individual could not provide a Hispanic origin response, their origin was assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if origin was missing for a natural-born daughter in the household, then either the origin of the householder, another natural-born child, or spouse of the householder was assigned. If Hispanic origin was not reported for anyone in the household, the Hispanic origin of a householder in a previously processed household with the same race was assigned.

The data on ancestry were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 10, which was asked of a sample of the population. The data represent self-classification by people according to the ancestry group or groups with which they most closely identify. Ancestry refers to a person’s ethnic origin or descent, “roots,” heritage, or the place of birth of the person, the person’s parents, or their ancestors before their arrival in the United States. Some ethnic identities, such as Egyptian or Polish, can be traced to geographic areas outside the United States, while other ethnicities, such as Pennsylvania German or Cajun, evolved in the United States. The intent of the ancestry question was not to measure the degree of attachment the respondent had to a particular ethnicity. For example, a response of “Irish” might reflect total involvement in an Irish community or only a memory of ancestors several generations removed from the individual. Also, the question was intended to provide data for groups that were not included in the Hispanic origin and race questions. Official Hispanic origin data come from long-form questionnaire Item 5, and official race data come from long-form questionnaire Item 6. Therefore, although data on all groups are collected, the ancestry data shown in these tabulations are for non-Hispanic and non-race groups. The ancestry question allowed respondents to report one or more ancestry groups, although only the first two were coded. If a response was in terms of a dual ancestry, for example, “Irish English,” the person was assigned two codes, in this case one for Irish and another for English. However, in certain cases, multiple responses such as “French Canadian,” “Greek Cypriote,” and “Scotch Irish” were assigned a single code reflecting their status as unique groups. If a person reported one of these unique groups in addition to another group, for example, “Scotch Irish English,” resulting in three terms, that person received one code for the unique group (Scotch-Irish) and another one for the remaining group (English). If a person reported “English Irish French,” only English and Irish were coded. Certain combinations of ancestries where the ancestry group is a part of another, such as “German-Bavarian,” were coded as a single ancestry using the more specific group (Bavarian). Also, responses such as “Polish-American” or “Italian-American” were coded and tabulated as a single entry (Polish or Italian). The Census Bureau accepted “American” as a unique ethnicity if it was given alone, with an ambiguous response, or with state names. If the respondent listed any other ethnic identity such as “Italian-American,” generally the “American” portion of the response was not coded. However, distinct groups such as “American Indian,” “Mexican American,” and “African American” were coded and identified separately because they represented groups who considered themselves different from those who reported as “Indian,” “Mexican,” or “African,” respectively.

Census 2000 tabulations on ancestry are presented using two types of data presentations — one using total people as the base, and the other using total responses as the base. This chapter uses total responses as the base and includes the total number of ancestries reported and coded. If a person reported a multiple ancestry such as “French Danish,” that response was counted twice in the tabulations — once in the French category and again in the Danish category. Thus, the sum of the counts in this type of presentation is not the total population but the total of all responses. An automated coding system was used for coding ancestry in Census 2000. This greatly reduced the potential for error associated with a clerical review. Specialists with knowledge of the subject matter reviewed, edited, coded, and resolved inconsistent or incomplete responses. The code list used in Census 2000, containing over 1,000 categories, reflects the results of the Census Bureau’s experience with the 1990 ancestry question, research, and consultation with many ethnic experts. Many decisions were made to determine the classification of responses. These decisions affected the grouping of the tabulated data. For example, the Italian category includes the responses of Sicilian and Tuscan, as well as a number of other responses. Although some people consider religious affiliation a component of ethnic identity, the ancestry question was not designed to collect any information concerning religion. Thus, if a religion was given as an answer to the ancestry question, it was listed in the “Other groups” category which is not shown in this chapter. Ancestry should not be confused with a person’s place of birth, although a person’s place of birth and ancestry may be the same.

Ranking Section In the ranking section of this chapter, each ancestry has three tables. The first table shows the top 10 places sorted by number (based on all places, regardless of population), the second table shows the top 10 places sorted by percent (based on all places, regardless of population), the third table shows the top 10 places sorted by percent (based on places with populations of 10,000 or more). Within each table, column one displays the place name, the state, and the county (if a place spans more than one county, the county that holds the majority of the population is shown). Column two displays the number of people reporting each ancestry, and column three is the percent of the total population reporting each ancestry. For tables representing ancestries based on race or Hispanic origin, the 100-percent population figure from SF1 is used to calculate the value in the “%” column. For all other ancestries the sample population figure from SF3 is used to calculate the value in the “%” column.

User’s Guide: Hispanic Population Places Covered Ranking tables cover all counties and all places in North Carolina with populations of 10,000 or more.

Source of Data CENSUS 2000 Data for this chapter was derived from following source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 4. Summary File 4 (SF 4) contains sample data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of a sample (generally 1-in-6) of all people and housing units. Summary File 4 is repeated or iterated for the total population and 335 additional population groups. This chapter focuses on the following 24 population groups: Hispanic or Latino (of any race) Central American Costa Rican Guatemalan Honduran Nicaraguan Panamanian Salvadoran Cuban Dominican (Dominican Republic) Mexican Puerto Rican South American Argentinian Bolivian Chilean Colombian Ecuadorian Paraguayan Peruvian Uruguayan Venezuelan Spaniard Other Hispanic or Latino Please note that the above list only includes Spanish-speaking population groups. Groups such as Brazilian are not classified as Hispanic by the Bureau of the Census because they primarily speak Portugese. In order for any of the tables for a specific group to be shown in Summary File 4, the data must meet a minimum population threshold. For Summary File 4, all tables are repeated for each race group, American Indian and Alaska Native tribe, and Hispanic or Latino group if the 100-percent count of people of that specific group in a particular geographic area is 100 or more. There also must be 50 or more unweighted people of that specific group in a particular geographic area. For example, if there are 100 or more 100-percent people tabulated as Chilean in County A, and there are 50 or more unweighted people, then all matrices for Chilean are shown in SF 4 for County A. To maintain confidentiality, the Census Bureau applies statistical procedures that introduce some uncertainty into data for small geographic areas with small population groups. Therefore, tables may contain both sampling and nonsampling error. In an iterated file such as SF 4, the universes households, families, and occupied housing units are classified by the race or ethnic group of the householder. In any population table where there is no note, the universe classification is always based on the race or ethnicity of the person. In all housing tables, the universe classification is based on the race or ethnicity of the householder.

North Carolina / User’s Guide: Hispanic Population

Comparing SF 4 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 and SF 2 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1 or SF 2. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 4 and values in SF 1 or SF 2 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 4 will, however, match the SF 1 and SF 2 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. This phenomenon also occurred for the 1990 Census, although in that case, the weighting areas included relatively small places. As a result, the long form estimates matched the short form counts for those places, but the confidence intervals around the estimates of characteristics collected only on the long form were often significantly wider (as a percentage of the estimate). SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas; whereas, SF 4 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 4 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile.

Topics POPULATION Total Population: Sample count of total population. Hispanic Population: The data on the Hispanic or Latino population, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 5, and short-form questionnaire Item 7. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms, while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire — “Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban” — as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race. Population groups whose primary language is not Spanish are not classified as Hispanic by the Bureau of the Census and are not included in this chapter (eg. Brazilian). AGE Median Age: Divides the age distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median age and one-half above the median. Median age is computed on the basis of a single year of age standard distribution. The data on age, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to the long-form questionnaire Item 4 and short-form questionnaire Item 6. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years as of April 1, 2000. The age of the person usually was derived from their date of birth information. Their reported age was used only when date of birth information was unavailable.

HOUSEHOLD SIZE Average Household Size: A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households by the total number of households (or householders). In cases where household members are tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, household members are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth. LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME English Only: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking English-only at home. Spanish: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking Spanish at home. Language spoken at home data were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 11a and 11b, which were asked of a sample of the population. Data were edited to include in tabulations only the population 5 years old and over. Questions 11a and 11b referred to languages spoken at home in an effort to measure the current use of languages other than English. People who knew languages other than English but did not use them at home or who only used them elsewhere were excluded. Most people who reported speaking a language other than English at home also speak English. The questions did not permit determination of the primary or dominant language of people who spoke both English and another language. FOREIGN-BORN Foreign Born: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Foreign-Born Naturalized Citizens: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth but became U.S. citizens by naturalization. The data on place of birth were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 12 which was asked of a sample of the population. Respondents were asked to report the U.S. state, Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Area, or foreign country where they were born. People not reporting a place of birth were assigned the state or country of birth of another family member or their residence 5 years earlier, or were imputed the response of another person with similar characteristics. People born outside the United States were asked to report their place of birth according to current international boundaries. Since numerous changes in boundaries of foreign countries have occurred in the last century, some people may have reported their place of birth in terms of boundaries that existed at the time of their birth or emigration, or in accordance with their own national preference. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT High School Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a high school diploma or higher. This category includes people whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people who received a college, university, or professional degree. People who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not high school graduates. 4-Years College Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a 4-year college, university, or professional degree. Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 9, which was asked of a sample of the population. Data on attainment are tabulated for the population 25 years old and over. The order in which degrees were listed on the questionnaire suggested that doctorate degrees were “higher” than professional school degrees, which were “higher” than master’s degrees. The question included instructions for people currently enrolled in school to report the level of the previous grade attended or the highest degree received. Respondents who did not report educational attainment or enrollment level were assigned the attainment of a person of the same age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, occupation and sex, where possible, who resided in the same or a nearby area. Respondents who filled more than one box were edited to the highest level or degree reported. The question included a response category that allowed respondents to report completing the 12th grade without receiving a high school diploma. It allowed people who received either a high school diploma or the equivalent (Test of General Educational Development—G.E.D.) and did not attend college, to be reported as “high school

graduate(s).” The category “Associate degree” included people whose highest degree is an associate degree, which generally requires 2 years of college level work and is either in an occupational program that prepares them for a specific occupation, or an academic program primarily in the arts and sciences. The course work may or may not be transferable to a bachelor’s degree. Master’s degrees include the traditional MA and MS degrees and field-specific degrees, such as MSW, MEd, MBA, MLS, and MEng. Some examples of professional degrees include medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology. Vocational and technical training such as barber school training; business, trade, technical, and vocational schools; or other training for a specific trade, are specifically excluded. INCOME AND POVERTY Median Household Income (in dollars): Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Per Capita Income (in dollars): Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The data on income in 1999 were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 31 and 32, which were asked of a sample of the population 15 years old and over. “Total income” is the sum of the amounts reported separately for wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends, or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; social security or railroad retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments; retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income. Receipts from the following sources are not included as income: capital gains, money received from the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such property); the value of income “in kind” from food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care, employer contributions for individuals, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; and gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts. The eight types of income reported in the census are defined as follows: Wage or salary income. Wage or salary income includes total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the calendar year 1999. It includes wages, salary, armed forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned before deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc. Self-employment income. Self-employment income includes both farm and nonfarm self-employment income. Nonfarm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one’s own business, professional enterprise, or partnership. Gross receipts include the value of all goods sold and services rendered. Expenses include costs of goods purchased, rent, heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and salaries paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. Farm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from the operation of a farm by a person on his or her own account, as an owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts include the value of all products sold, government farm programs, money received from the rental of farm equipment to others, and incidental receipts from the sale of wood, sand, gravel, etc. Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and other farming supplies, cash wages paid to farmhands, depreciation charges, cash rent, interest on farm mortgages, farm building repairs, farm taxes (not state and federal personal income taxes), etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as part of net income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income includes interest on savings or bonds, dividends from stockholdings or membership in associations, net income from rental of property to others and receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalties, and periodic payments from an estate or trust fund. Social Security income. Social security income includes social security pensions and survivors benefits, permanent disability insurance payments made by the Social Security Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance, and railroad retirement insurance checks from the U.S. government. Medicare reimbursements are not included. Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a nationwide U.S. assistance program administered by the Social Security Administration that guarantees a minimum level of income for needy aged, blind,

or disabled individuals. The census questionnaire for Puerto Rico asked about the receipt of SSI; however, SSI is not a federally administered program in Puerto Rico. Therefore, it is probably not being interpreted by most respondents as the same as SSI in the United States. The only way a resident of Puerto Rico could have appropriately reported SSI would have been if they lived in the United States at any time during calendar year 1999 and received SSI. Public assistance income. Public assistance income includes general assistance and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Separate payments received for hospital or other medical care (vendor payments) are excluded. This does not include Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Retirement income. Retirement income includes: (1) retirement pensions and survivor benefits from a former employer; labor union; or federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (2) income from workers’ compensation; disability income from companies or unions; federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (3) periodic receipts from annuities and insurance; and (4) regular income from IRA and KEOGH plans. This does not include social security income. All other income. All other income includes unemployment compensation, Veterans’ Administration (VA) payments, alimony and child support, contributions received periodically from people not living in the household, military family allotments, and other kinds of periodic income other than earnings. Poverty Status: Number and percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold. HOUSING Homeownership: Number and percentage of housing units that are owner-occupied. The data on tenure, which was asked at all occupied housing units, were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 33, and short-form questionnaire Item 2. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or renter occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire. The unit is “Owned by you or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan” if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement, such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment loans balances are also included in this category. Median Gross Rent (in dollars): Median monthly gross rent on specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family houses on 10 acres or more. The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 45a-d, which were asked on a sample basis. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of utilities and fuels are reported on an annual basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No cash rent’’ in the tabulations.

Housing units that are renter occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as “No cash rent” in census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who live elsewhere and who allow occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, or others. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration. If the contract rent includes rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another household, only that part of the rent estimated to be for the respondent’s unit was included. Excluded was any rent paid for additional units or for business premises. If a renter pays rent to the owner of a condominium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or cooperative carrying charge also is paid by the renter to the owner, the condominium fee or carrying charge was included as rent. If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the household, the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or roomers was to be reported. The respondent was to report the rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid by someone else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, a church or welfare agency, or the government through subsidies or vouchers. The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median contract rent and one-half above the median. Median contract rents are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Units reported as “No cash rent” are excluded. Median Home Value (in dollars): Reported by the owner of specified owner-occupied or specified vacant-for-sale housing units. Specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units include only 1-family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. The data for “specified units” exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. The data on value (also referred to as “price asked” for vacant units) were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 51, which was asked on a sample basis at owner-occupied housing units and units that were being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. Value is the respondent’s estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but the land on which it sits was not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. Value was tabulated separately for all owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale housing units, owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale mobile homes, and specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units. The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Median values are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

User’s Guide: Asian Population Places Covered Ranking tables cover all counties and places in North Carolina with Asian and/or Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander residents.

Source of Data CENSUS 2000 Data for this chapter was derived from following source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 4. Summary File 4 (SF 4) contains sample data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of a sample (generally 1-in-6) of all people and housing units. Summary File 4 is repeated or iterated for the total population and 335 additional population groups. This chapter focuses on the following 23 population groups: Asian Asian Indian Bangladeshi Cambodian Chinese (except Taiwanese) Filipino Hmong Indonesian Japanese Korean Laotian Malaysian Pakistani Sri Lankan Taiwanese Thai Vietnamese Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Fijian Guamanian or Chamorro Hawaiian, Native Samoan Tongan Please note that this chapter only includes people who responded to the question on race by indicating only one race. These people are classified by the Census Bureau as the race alone population. For example, respondents reporting a single detailed Asian group, such as Korean or Filipino, would be included in the Asian alone population. Respondents reporting more than one detailed Asian group, such as Chinese and Japanese or Asian Indian and Chinese and Vietnamese would also be included in the Asian alone population. This is because all of the detailed groups in these example combinations are part of the larger Asian race category. The same criteria apply to the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander groups. In order for any of the tables for a specific group to be shown in Summary File 4, the data must meet a minimum population threshold. For Summary File 4, all tables are repeated for each race group, American Indian and Alaska Native tribe, and Hispanic or Latino group if the 100-percent count of people of that specific group in a particular geographic area is 100 or more. There also must be 50 or more unweighted people of that specific group in a particular geographic area. For example, if there are 100 or more 100-percent people tabulated as Korean in County A, and there are 50 or more unweighted people, then all matrices for Korean are shown in SF 4 for County A. To maintain confidentiality, the Census Bureau applies statistical procedures that introduce some uncertainty into data for small geographic areas with small population groups. Therefore, tables may contain both sampling and nonsampling error.

In an iterated file such as SF 4, the universes households, families, and occupied housing units are classified by the race or ethnic group of the householder. In any population table where there is no note, the universe classification is always based on the race or ethnicity of the person. In all housing tables, the universe classification is based on the race or ethnicity of the householder. Comparing SF 4 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 and SF 2 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1 or SF 2. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 4 and values in SF 1 or SF 2 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 4 will, however, match the SF 1 and SF 2 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. This phenomenon also occurred for the 1990 Census, although in that case, the weighting areas included relatively small places. As a result, the long form estimates matched the short form counts for those places, but the confidence intervals around the estimates of characteristics collected only on the long form were often significantly wider (as a percentage of the estimate). SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas; whereas, SF 4 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 4 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile.

Topics POPULATION Total Population: Sample count of total population of all races. Asian Population: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes Asian Indian, Bangladeshi, Cambodian, Chinese (except Taiwanese), Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Malaysian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Taiwanese, Thai, and Vietnamese. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) Population: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. It includes people who indicate their race as Fijian, Guamanian or Chamorro, Native Hawaiian, Samoan, and Tongan. The data on race, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 6 and short-form questionnaire Item 8. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are socio-political constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups. If an individual did not provide a race response, the race or races of the householder or other household members were assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if race was missing for a natural-born child in the household, then either the race or races of the householder, another natural-born child, or

Profiles of North Carolina & South Carolina

the spouse of the householder were assigned. If race was not reported for anyone in the household, the race or races of a householder in a previously processed household were assigned. AGE Median Age: Divides the age distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median age and one-half above the median. Median age is computed on the basis of a single year of age standard distribution. The data on age, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to the long-form questionnaire Item 4 and short-form questionnaire Item 6. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years as of April 1, 2000. The age of the person usually was derived from their date of birth information. Their reported age was used only when date of birth information was unavailable. HOUSEHOLD SIZE Average Household Size: A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households by the total number of households (or householders). In cases where household members are tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, household members are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth. LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME English Only: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking English-only at home. Language spoken at home data were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 11a and 11b, which were asked of a sample of the population. Data were edited to include in tabulations only the population 5 years old and over. Questions 11a and 11b referred to languages spoken at home in an effort to measure the current use of languages other than English. People who knew languages other than English but did not use them at home or who only used them elsewhere were excluded. Most people who reported speaking a language other than English at home also speak English. The questions did not permit determination of the primary or dominant language of people who spoke both English and another language. FOREIGN-BORN Foreign Born: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Foreign-Born Naturalized Citizens: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth but became U.S. citizens by naturalization. The data on place of birth were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 12 which was asked of a sample of the population. Respondents were asked to report the U.S. state, Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Area, or foreign country where they were born. People not reporting a place of birth were assigned the state or country of birth of another family member or their residence 5 years earlier, or were imputed the response of another person with similar characteristics. People born outside the United States were asked to report their place of birth according to current international boundaries. Since numerous changes in boundaries of foreign countries have occurred in the last century, some people may have reported their place of birth in terms of boundaries that existed at the time of their birth or emigration, or in accordance with their own national preference. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT High School Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a high school diploma or higher. This category includes people whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people who received a college, university, or professional degree. People who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not high school graduates. Four-Year College Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a 4-year college, university, or professional degree.

Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 9, which was asked of a sample of the population. Data on attainment are tabulated for the population 25 years old and over. The order in which degrees were listed on the questionnaire suggested that doctorate degrees were “higher” than professional school degrees, which were “higher” than master’s degrees. The question included instructions for people currently enrolled in school to report the level of the previous grade attended or the highest degree received. Respondents who did not report educational attainment or enrollment level were assigned the attainment of a person of the same age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, occupation and sex, where possible, who resided in the same or a nearby area. Respondents who filled more than one box were edited to the highest level or degree reported. The question included a response category that allowed respondents to report completing the 12th grade without receiving a high school diploma. It allowed people who received either a high school diploma or the equivalent (Test of General Educational Development—G.E.D.) and did not attend college, to be reported as “high school graduate(s).” The category “Associate degree” included people whose highest degree is an associate degree, which generally requires 2 years of college level work and is either in an occupational program that prepares them for a specific occupation, or an academic program primarily in the arts and sciences. The course work may or may not be transferable to a bachelor’s degree. Master’s degrees include the traditional MA and MS degrees and field-specific degrees, such as MSW, MEd, MBA, MLS, and MEng. Some examples of professional degrees include medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology. Vocational and technical training such as barber school training; business, trade, technical, and vocational schools; or other training for a specific trade, are specifically excluded. INCOME AND POVERTY Median Household Income (in dollars): Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Per Capita Income (in dollars): Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The data on income in 1999 were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 31 and 32, which were asked of a sample of the population 15 years old and over. “Total income” is the sum of the amounts reported separately for wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends, or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; social security or railroad retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments; retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income. Receipts from the following sources are not included as income: capital gains, money received from the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such property); the value of income “in kind” from food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care, employer contributions for individuals, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; and gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts. The eight types of income reported in the census are defined as follows: Wage or salary income. Wage or salary income includes total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the calendar year 1999. It includes wages, salary, armed forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned before deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc. Self-employment income. Self-employment income includes both farm and nonfarm self-employment income. Nonfarm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one’s own business, professional enterprise, or partnership. Gross receipts include the value of all goods sold and services rendered. Expenses include costs of goods purchased, rent, heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and salaries paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. Farm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from the operation of a farm by a person on his or her own account, as an owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts include the value of all products sold, government farm programs, money received from the rental of farm equipment to others, and incidental receipts from the sale of wood,

sand, gravel, etc. Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and other farming supplies, cash wages paid to farmhands, depreciation charges, cash rent, interest on farm mortgages, farm building repairs, farm taxes (not state and federal personal income taxes), etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as part of net income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income includes interest on savings or bonds, dividends from stockholdings or membership in associations, net income from rental of property to others and receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalties, and periodic payments from an estate or trust fund. Social Security income. Social security income includes social security pensions and survivors benefits, permanent disability insurance payments made by the Social Security Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance, and railroad retirement insurance checks from the U.S. government. Medicare reimbursements are not included. Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a nationwide U.S. assistance program administered by the Social Security Administration that guarantees a minimum level of income for needy aged, blind, or disabled individuals. The census questionnaire for Puerto Rico asked about the receipt of SSI; however, SSI is not a federally administered program in Puerto Rico. Therefore, it is probably not being interpreted by most respondents as the same as SSI in the United States. The only way a resident of Puerto Rico could have appropriately reported SSI would have been if they lived in the United States at any time during calendar year 1999 and received SSI. Public assistance income. Public assistance income includes general assistance and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Separate payments received for hospital or other medical care (vendor payments) are excluded. This does not include Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Retirement income. Retirement income includes: (1) retirement pensions and survivor benefits from a former employer; labor union; or federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (2) income from workers’ compensation; disability income from companies or unions; federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (3) periodic receipts from annuities and insurance; and (4) regular income from IRA and KEOGH plans. This does not include social security income. All other income. All other income includes unemployment compensation, Veterans’ Administration (VA) payments, alimony and child support, contributions received periodically from people not living in the household, military family allotments, and other kinds of periodic income other than earnings. Poverty Status: Number and percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold. HOUSING Homeownership: Number and percentage of housing units that are owner-occupied. The data on tenure, which was asked at all occupied housing units, were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 33, and short-form questionnaire Item 2. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or renter occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire. The unit is “Owned by you

or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan” if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement, such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment loans balances are also included in this category. Median Gross Rent (in dollars): Median monthly gross rent on specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family houses on 10 acres or more. The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 45a-d, which were asked on a sample basis. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of utilities and fuels are reported on an annual basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No cash rent’’ in the tabulations. Housing units that are renter occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as “No cash rent” in census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who live elsewhere and who allow occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, or others. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration. If the contract rent includes rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another household, only that part of the rent estimated to be for the respondent’s unit was included. Excluded was any rent paid for additional units or for business premises. If a renter pays rent to the owner of a condominium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or cooperative carrying charge also is paid by the renter to the owner, the condominium fee or carrying charge was included as rent. If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the household, the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or roomers was to be reported. The respondent was to report the rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid by someone else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, a church or welfare agency, or the government through subsidies or vouchers. The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median contract rent and one-half above the median. Median contract rents are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Units reported as “No cash rent” are excluded. Median Home Value (in dollars): Reported by the owner of specified owner-occupied or specified vacant-for-sale housing units. Specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units include only 1-family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. The data for “specified units” exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. The data on value (also referred to as “price asked” for vacant units) were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 51, which was asked on a sample basis at owner-occupied housing units and units that were being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. Value is the respondent’s estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but the land on which it sits was not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. Value was tabulated separately for all owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale housing units, owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale mobile homes, and specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units. The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Median values are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

User’s Guide: Climate Inclusion Criteria — How the Data and Stations Were Selected There were two central goals in the preparation of the climate chapter. The first was to select those data elements which would have the broadest possible use by the greatest range of potential users. For most of the National Weather Service stations there is a substantial quantity and variety of climatological data that is collected, however for the majority of stations the data is more limited. After evaluating the available data set, the editors chose nine temperature measures, five precipitation measures, and heating and cooling degree days — sixteen key data elements that are widely requested and are believed to be of the greatest general interest. The second goal was to provide data for as many weather stations as possible. Although there are over 10,000 stations in the United States, not every station collects data for both precipitation and temperature, and even among those that do, the data is not always complete for the last thirty years. As the editors used a different methodology than that of NCDC to compute data, a formal data sufficiency criteria was devised and applied to the source tapes in order to select stations for inclusion. Sources of the Data The data in the climate chapter is compiled from several sources. The majority comes from the original National Climactic Data Center computer tapes (TD-3220 Summary of Month Co-Operative). This data was used to create the entire table for each Cooperative station and part of each National Weather Service station. The remainder of the data for each NWS station comes from the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary, Version 4.0, September 1996, which is also available from the NCDC. NCDC has two main classes or types of weather stations; first order stations which are staffed by professional meteorologists and cooperative stations which are staffed by volunteers. In the climate chapter all first order stations operated by the National Weather Service are included, as well as every cooperative station that met our selection criteria. Potential cautions in using Weather America First, as with any statistical reference work of this type, users need to be aware of the source of the data. The information here comes from NOAA, and it is the most comprehensive and reliable core data available. Although it is the best, it is not perfect. Most weather stations are staffed by volunteers, times of observation sometimes vary, stations occasionally are moved (especially over a thirty year period), equipment is changed or upgraded, and all of these factors affect the uniformity of the data. the climate chapter does not attempt to correct for these factors, and is not intended for either climatologists or atmospheric scientists. Users with concerns about data collection and reporting protocols are both referred to NCDC technical documentation, and also, they are perhaps better served by using the original computer tapes themselves as well. Second, users need to be aware of the methodology used, which is described later in this User’s Guide. Although this methodology has produced fully satisfactory results, it is not directly compatible with other methodologies, hence variances in the results published here and those which appear in other publications will doubtlessly arise. Third, is the trap of that informal logical fallacy known as “hasty generalization,” and its corollaries. This may involve presuming the future will be like the past (specifically, next year will be an average year), or it may involve misunderstanding the limitations of an arithmetic average, but more interestingly, it may involve those mistakes made most innocently by generalizing informally on too broad a basis. As weather is highly localized, the data should be taken in that context. A weather station collects data about climatic conditions at that spot, and that spot may or may not be an effective paradigm for an entire town or area. For example, the weather station in Burlington, Vermont is located at the airport about 3 miles east of the center of town. Most of Burlington is a lot closer to Lake Champlain, and that should mean to a careful user that there could be a significant difference between the temperature readings gathered at the weather station and readings that might be gathered at City Hall downtown. How much would this difference be? How could it be estimated? There are no answers here for these sorts of questions, but it is important for users of this book to raise them for themselves. (It is interesting to note that similar situations abound across the country. For example, compare different readings for the multiple stations in San Francisco, CA or for those around New York City.) Our source of data has been consistent, so has our methodology. The data has been computed and reported consistently as well. As a result, the climate chapter should prove valuable to the careful and informed reader.

Weather Station Tables The weather station tables are grouped by type (National Weather Service and Cooperative) and then arranged alphabetically. The station name is almost always a place name, and is shown here just as it appears in NCDC data. The station name is followed by the county in which the station is located, the elevation of the station (at the time beginning of the thirty year period) and the latitude and longitude. The National Weather Service Station tables contain 30 data elements which were compiled from two different sources, the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary (ISMCS) and NCDC TD-3220 data tapes. The following 14 elements are from the ISMCS: maximum precipitation, minimum precipitation, maximum 24-hour precipitation, maximum snowfall, maximum 24-hour snowfall, thunderstorm days, foggy days, predominant sky cover, relative humidity (morning and afternoon), dewpoint, wind speed and direction, and maximum wind gust. The remaining 16 elements come from the TD-3220 data tapes. The period of record (POR) for data from the TD-3220 data tapes is 1970-1999. The POR for ISMCS data varies from station to station. Weather Elements (National Weather Service and Cooperative Stations) The following elements were compiled by the editor from the NCDC TD-3220 data tapes using a period of record of 1970-1999. The average temperatures (maximum, minimum, and mean) are the average (see Methodology below) of those temperatures for all available values for a given month. For example, for a given station the average maximum temperature for July is the arithmetic average of all available maximum July temperatures for that station. (Maximum means the highest recorded temperature, minimum means the lowest recorded temperature, and mean means an arithmetic average temperature.) The extreme maximum temperature is the highest temperature recorded in each month over the period 1970-1999. The extreme minimum temperature is the lowest temperature recorded in each month over the same time period. The days for maximum temperature and minimum temperature are the average number of days those criteria were met for all available instances. The symbol >= means greater than or equal to, the symbol <= means less than or equal to. For example, for a given station, the number of days the maximum temperature was greater than or equal to 90°F in July, is just an arithmetic average of the number of days in all the available Julys for that station. Heating and cooling degree days are based on the median temperature for a given day and its variance from 65°F. For example, for a given station if the day’s high temperature was 50°F and the day’s low temperature was 30°F, the median (midpoint) temperature was 40°F. 40°F is 25 degrees below 65°F, hence on this day there would be 25 heating degree days. The also applies for cooling degree days. For example, for a given station if the day’s high temperature was 80°F and the day’s low temperature was 70°F, the median (midpoint) temperature was 75°F. 75°F is 10 degrees above 65°F, hence on this day there would be 10 cooling degree days. All heating and/or cooling degree days in a month are summed for the month giving respective totals for each element for that month. These sums for a given month for a given station over the past thirty years are again summed and then arithmetically averaged. It should be noted that the heating and cooling degree days do not cancel each other out. It is possible to have both for a given station in the same month. Precipitation data is computed the same as heating and cooling degree days. Mean precipitation and mean snowfall are arithmetic averages of cumulative totals for the month. All available values for the thirty year period for a given month for a given station are summed and then divided by the number of values. The same is true for days of greater than or equal to 0.1" and 1.0" of precipitation, and days of greater than or equal to 1.0" of snow depth on the ground. The word trace appears for precipitation and snowfall amounts that are too small to measure. Finally, remember that all values presented in the tables and the rankings are averages of available data (see Methodology below) for that specific data element for the last thirty years (1970-1999). Weather Elements (National Weather Service Stations Only) The following elements were taken directly from the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary. The periods of records vary per station. Maximum precipitation, minimum precipitation, maximum 24-hour precipitation, maximum snowfall, maximum 24-hour snowfall, thunderstorm days, foggy days, relative humidity (morning and afternoon), dewpoint, prevailing wind speed and direction, and maximum wind gust are all self-explanatory. The word trace appears for precipitation and snowfall amounts that are too small to measure.

Predominant sky cover contains four possible entries: CLR (clear); SCT (scattered); BRK (broken); and OVR (overcast). How Cooperative Stations Were Selected The basic criteria is that a station must have data for temperature, precipitation, heating and cooling degree days of sufficient quantity in order to create a meaningful average. More specifically, the definition of sufficiency here has two parts. First, there must be 22 values for a given data element (with the exception of cooling degree days which required only 14 values in order to be considered sufficient- more about this later), and second, eight of the sixteen elements included in the table must pass this sufficiency test. For example, in regard to average maximum temperature (the first element on every data table), a given station needs to have a value for every month of at least 22 of the last thirty years in order to meet the criteria, and, in addition, every station included must have at least eight of the sixteen elements at least this minimal level of completeness in order to fulfill the criteria. By using this procedure, 3,933 stations met these requirements and are included here. Methodology The following discussion applies only to data compiled from the NCDC TD-3220 data tapes. The climate chapter is based on an arithmetic average of all available data for a specific data element at a given station. For example, the average maximum daily high temperature during July for Pontiac, New York was abstracted from NCDC source tapes for the thirty Julys, starting in July, 1970 and ending in July, 1999. These thirty figures were then summed and divided by thirty to produce an arithmetic average. As might be expected, there were not thirty values for every data element on every table. For a variety of reasons, NCDC data is sometimes incomplete. Thus the following standards were established. For those data elements where there were 26-30 values, the data was taken to be essentially complete and an average was computed. For data elements where there were 22-25 values, the data was taken as being partly complete but still valid enough to use to compute an average. Such averages are shown in bold italic type to indicate that there was less than 26 values. For the few data elements where there were not even 22 values, no average was computed and ‘na’ appears in the space. If any of the twelve months for a given data element reported a value of ‘na’, no annual average was computed and the annual average was reported as ‘na’ as well. This procedure was followed for 15 of the 16 data elements. The one exception is cooling degree days. The collection of this data began in 1980 so the following standards were adopted: for those data elements where there were 17-20 values, the data was taken to be essentially complete and an average was computed. For data elements where there were 14-16 values, the data was taken as being partly complete but still valid enough to use to compute an average. Such averages are shown in bold italic type to indicate that there was 14-16 values. For the few data elements where there were not even 14 values, no average was computed and ‘na’ appears in the space. If any of the twelve months for a given data element reported a value of ‘na’, no annual average was computed and the annual average was reported as ‘na’ as well. Thus the basic computational methodology of the climate chapter is to provide an arithmetic average. Because of this, such a pure arithmetic average is somewhat different from the special type of average (called a “normal”) which NCDC procedures produces and appears in federal publications. Perhaps the best outline of the contrasting normalization methodology is found in the following paragraph (which appears as part of an NCDC technical document titled, CLIM81 1961-1990 NORMALS TD-9641 prepared by Lewis France of NCDC in May, 1992): Normals have been defined as the arithmetic mean of a climatological element computed over a long time period. International agreements eventually led to the decision that the appropriate time period would be three consecutive decades (Guttman, 1989). The data record should be consistent (have no changes in location, instruments, observation practices, etc.; these are identified here as “exposure changes”) and have no missing values so a normal will reflect the actual average climatic conditions. If any significant exposure changes have occurred, the data record is said to be “inhomogeneous,” and the normal may not reflect a true climatic average. Such data need to be adjusted to remove the nonclimatic inhomogeneities. The resulting (adjusted) record is then said to be “homogeneous.” If no exposure changes have occurred at a station, the normal is calculated simply by averaging the appropriate 30 values from the 1961-1990 record. In the main, there are two “inhomogeneities” that NCDC is correcting for with normalization: adjusting for variances in time of day of observation (at the so-called First Order stations data is based on midnight to midnight observation

times and this practice is not necessarily followed at cooperative stations which are staffed by volunteers), and second, estimating data that is either missing or incongruent. A long discussion of the normalization process is not required here but a short note concerning comparative results of the two methodologies is appropriate. When the editors first started compiling the climate chapter a concern arose because the normalization process would not be replicated: would our methodology produce strikingly different results than NCDC’s? To allay concerns, results of the two processes were compared for the time period normalized results are available (1961-1990). In short, what was found was that the answer to this question is no. Never-the-less, users should be aware that because of both the time period covered (1970-1999) and the methodology used, data in the climate chapter is not compatible with data from other sources.

History: Fayetteville dates from 1739, when Scots led by Colonel McAllister settled Campbelltown. In 1746, a group of expatriated Scots established a grist mill and village at Cross Creek, a mile northwest of Campbelltown. The preponderance of Scottish population made the town a center of Tory influence. In 1783 the settlements of Campbelltown and Cross Creek united and were incorporated. Having shifted their allegiance, the citizens named the place Fayetteville, the first community so honoring the Marquis de Lafayette. Fayetteville served as the state capital from 1789 to 1793.

DURHAM (city). County seat. Covers a land area of 94.634 square miles and a water area of 0.283 square miles. Located at 35.98° N. Lat.; 78.90° W. Long. Elevation is 404 feet. History: Durham is new by North Carolina reckoning, dating from the 1850’s when a settlement known as Prattsburg grew up around wheat and corn mills serving the farmers. Construction of the North Carolina Railroad in the mid-1850’s gave some impetus to growth. William Pratt, a major landowner, refused to give a right-of-way or land for a station. Dr. Bartlett Durham offered four acres about two miles west of Prattsburg and the station was named for him. The railroad detoured around Prattsburg and the Pratt property. The town of Durham was incorporated in 1867, and when Durham County was created from Orange and Wake in 1881, it was made the seat. The rise of the tobacconists marked the beginning of the town’s industrial life. As early as 1858 Robert F. Morris was producing tobacco. By 1911, Durham was established as the world’s tobacco capital. James B. Duke did with tobacco what Rockefeller did with oil and Carnegie with steel. He became adept at trade. After amassing a fortune, he provided the means for establishing Duke University, for which he left a sizable endowment.

WINSTON-SALEM (city). County seat. Covers a land area of 108.850 square miles and a water area of 0.783 square miles. Located at 36.10° N. Lat.; 80.26° W. Long. Elevation is 961 feet. History: The two towns, Winston and Salem, became one municipality in 1913. The town’s history began in 1753, when a small party of Moravians from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, arrived and bought a large tract of land. The area was first called “der Wachau” and later Anglicized to “Wachovia.” The first settlement was called “Bethabara,” a few miles from the present Winston-Salem. A site in the center of the Wachovia tract was chosen to be Salem, or “peace,” and a small settlement began there in 1766. In 1849, when Forsyth County was formed, land was sold for a courthouse site just north of Salem. The community was later named for Major Joseph Winston of Kings Mountain fame. Salem was incorporated by the assembly of 1856-1857; Winston by the assembly of 1859.

History: The earliest settlers around Greensboro were Quakers, Germans, and Scots-Irish freeholders, whose zeal for religious, economic, and political freedom dotted the region with churches, wrested prosperity from the wilderness, and helped win independence from the British Crown. The city occupies part of the original grant in 1749 from John Carteret, Earl of Granville, to the Nottingham Company for settlement of a colony of Scots-Irish Presbyterians. A German colony and two groups of Quakers also settled at the same time nearby. In 1808, the General Assembly authorized the commissioners to purchase and lay off a tract of 42 acres in the geographic center of the county. The new town was named Greensboro, in honor of General Nathanael Greene, leader of the Colonial forces at Guilford Courthouse.

Mecklenburg County Communities CHARLOTTE (city). County seat. Covers a land area of 242.268 square miles and a water area of 0.598 square miles. Located at 35.20° N. Lat.; 80.82° W. Long. Elevation is 751 feet. History: The present Charlotte area was occupied by the Catawba people when settlers began arriving about 1748. They were Scots-Irish and Germans who came south through Pennsylvania and Virginia, and English, Huguenots and Swiss from Charleston, South Carolina. The county seat was chartered in 1768. The town was named for Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of George III. Fertile soil brought more settlers, and in 1771 a college was established. Charlotte claims to have been the site of the first declaration of independence signed by legislators in the Thirteen Colonies, although the document was later destroyed by fire. Gold mining, textiles, and culture have been important to Charlotte’s history.

History: Wilmington dates from 1730 when English yeomen built log shacks on a bluff east of the junction of the Northeast and Northwest Branches of the Cape Fear River. The settlement, called New Liverpool, shortly admitted colonists from the lower peninsula, who sought protection from pirates and better harbor facilities. In 1733 John Watson obtained a grant of 640 acres adjoining New Liverpool and called the place New Town (or Newton). Governor Gabriel Johnston, in 1734, changed the name to honor his patron, Spencer Compton, Earl of Wilmington, and the town became a commercial center. In 1745 the assembly authorized the building of Fort Johnston at the mouth of the river as a protection against pirates; it was completed in 1764.

Totals

Notes The Verified Membership" for the Grade 3 Pretest is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and other unknown causes. 3 Alternative and alternate assessments for grade 3 are administered within the final six weeks of the school year and are included with the end-of-grade results. 4 S/P stands for Severely/Profoundly. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 grade 3 pretest student answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. The grade 3 pretest in mathematics was administered as a statewide field test in the fall of 2005. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

TOTALS

The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. 2 Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. NCCLAS and NCEXTEND2 are newly developed alternative assessments operationalized beginning in the 2005-06 school year. NCAAP is an alternate assessment for students with severe cognitive disabilities operationalized beginning in 2000-01. *Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-grade answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

1 The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-course tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-course answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

1 The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-course tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-course answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

1 The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-course tests is the number of student grade and course enrollment records in schools' information systems on the first day of test administration in the testing cycle. Data for "Other" includes misadministrations, transfers, and unknown causes. Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2005-06 end-of-course answer sheets. The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504. Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 23, 2006 are not included in this table. Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Test Development Section.

North Carolina / Climate: State Summary

NORTH CAROLINA PHYSICAL FEATURES. North Carolina lies between 33.5° and 37° N. latitude and between 75° and 84.5° W. longitude. The span of longitude is greater than that of any other state east of the Mississippi River. The greatest length from east to west is 503 miles. The greatest breadth from north to south is 187 miles. The total area is 52,712 square miles: 49,142 square miles of land and 3,570 square miles of water. The range of altitude is also the greatest of any eastern state. North Carolina rises from sea level along the Atlantic coast to 6,684 feet at the summit of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the eastern United States. Mount Mitchell is in the heart of the Blue Ridge Range. This Range, along with the Great Smokies, lies partly in North Carolina and partly in Tennessee and forms the highest part of the Appalachian Mountains. The three principal physiographic divisions of the eastern United States are particularly well developed in North Carolina. Beginning in the east, they are: the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Mountains. The land and water areas of the Coastal Plain Division comprise nearly half the area of the State. The tidewater portion is generally flat and swampy, while the interior is gently sloping and, for the most part, naturally well drained. The Piedmont Division rises gently from about 200 feet at the fall line to near 1,500 feet at the base of the mountains; its area is about one-third of the State. The land is mostly gently rolling. There are several ranges of steeper hills. The Mountain Division is the smallest of the three, little more than one-fifth of the State’s area. In elevation it ranges downward from Mount Mitchell’s peak to about 1,000 feet above mean sea level in the lowest valleys. There are more than 40 peaks higher than 6,000 feet and about 80 others over 5,000 feet high. North Carolina rivers fall into two groups: those that flow into the Atlantic Ocean and those that drain westward into the Mississippi River system. The two are separated by a ridge averaging 2,200 feet above mean sea level. A second chain of mountains ranging up to 6,000 feet marks the western boundary of the State. Most of the State, including the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the eastern and southern slopes, drains into the Atlantic Ocean. The principal rivers involved are the Roanoke, Tar, Neuse, Cape Fear, Yadkin, and Catawba. The main stream draining the extreme western part of North Carolina is the French Broad River. The northern mountains are drained by streams flowing into the Ohio River system. All eventually reach the Mississippi. GENERAL CLIMATE. North Carolina has the most varied climate of any eastern state. This is due mainly to its wide range in elevation and distance from the ocean. In all seasons of the year the average temperature varies more than 20 from the lower coast to the highest mountain elevations. Altitude also has an important effect on rainfall. The rainiest part of the eastern United States, with an annual average of more than 80 inches, is in southwestern North Carolina where moist southerly winds are forced upward in passing over the mountain barrier. In winter the greater part of North Carolina is partially protected by the mountain ranges from the frequent outbreaks of cold which move southeastward across the Central States. Such outbreaks often spread southward all the way to the Gulf of Mexico without attaining strength and depth to cross the Appalachian Range. When cold waves do break across they are usually modified by the crossing and the descent on the eastern slopes. The temperature drops to around 10 over central North Carolina once or twice during an average winter. Near the coast a comparable figure is some 10 degrees higher, and in the upper mountains 10 degrees lower. Temperatures as low as 0 are rare outside the mountains, but have occurred at one time or another throughout the western part of the State. Winter temperatures in the eastern Coastal Plain are modified by the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean. This effect raises the average winter temperature and reduces the average day-to-night range. The Gulf Stream, contrary to popular opinion, has little direct effect on North Carolina temperatures, even on the immediate coast. The Stream lies some 50 miles offshore at its nearest point. The southern reaches of the cold Labrador Current pass between the Gulf Stream and the North Carolina coast. This offsets any warming effect the Stream might otherwise have on coastal temperatures. The meeting of the two opposing currents does provide a breeding ground for rough weather. Not infrequently low pressure storms having their origin there develop major proportions, causing rain on the North Carolina coast and over states to the north. In spring the storm systems that bring cold weather southward reach North Carolina less forcefully than in winter, and temperatures begin to modify. Day-to-day variations in temperature are less

Profiles of North Carolina & South Carolina

pronounced, and warm weather is more likely to occur in conjunction with fair weather. During the summer, when the drying of the air is sufficient to keep cloudiness at a minimum for several days, temperatures may occasionally reach 100°F. or a little higher in interior sections at elevations below 1,500 feet. Ordinarily, however, summer cloudiness develops to limit the sun’s heating while temperatures are still in the 90°F. range. Autumn is the season of most rapidly changing temperature, the daily downward trend being greater than the corresponding rise in spring. The dropoff is most rapid in October and continues almost as fast in November. PRECIPITATION. There are no distinct wet and dry seasons in North Carolina. There is some seasonal variation in average precipitation. Summer rainfall is normally the greatest, and July the wettest month. Since the rain at this time of year comes mostly with thunderstorms and convective showers, it is also more variable than at other seasons. Daily showers are not uncommon, nor are periods of one or two weeks without rain. Autumn is the driest season, and October the driest month. Precipitation in winter and spring occurs mostly with migratory low pressure storms. It appears with greater regularity and more even distribution than summer showers. Winter precipitation usually occurs with southerly through easterly winds, and is seldom associated with very cold weather. Snow and sleet occur on an average of once or twice a year near the coast, and not much more often over the southeastern half of the State. Over the Mountains and western Piedmont frozen precipitation sometimes occurs with interior low pressure storms. In the extreme west it can happen with a cold front passage from northwest. Average winter snowfall ranges from about one inch per year on the Outer Banks and the lower coast, to about nine inches in the northern Piedmont and southern Mountains. Some of the higher mountain peaks and upper slopes receive an average of nearly 50 inches a year. OTHER CLIMATIC ELEMENTS. Relative humidity may vary greatly from day to day and even from hour to hour, especially in winter. The average relative humidity, however, does not vary greatly from season to season, there being a slight tendency for highest averages in winter and lowest in spring. The lowest relative humidities are found over the southern Piedmont; the highest are along the immediate coast. Sunshine is abundant, the average annual percentage of possible ranging from 60 to 65 percent at most recording points. Measurable rain falls on about 120 days. Prevailing winds blow from southwest 10 months of the year, and from northeast during September and October. The average wind speed for interior locations is about eight m.p.h., for coastal points about 12 m.p.h. STORMS AND FLOODS. Intense rainstorms occur in the precipitous mountain terrain, especially in the southern portion. Streams here rise quickly to flood, and almost as quickly subside when rain ends. Floods occur frequently, affecting some part of North Carolina each year. Floods may occur at any season, but are most frequent in early spring, summer, and early fall. Rains associated with West Indian hurricanes are the main cause of summer and fall floods. The greatest economic loss entailed in North Carolina because of stormy weather is that due to summer thunderstorms. These usually affect only limited areas. In any given locality, 40 to 50 days with thunderstorms may be expected in a year. North Carolina is outside the principal tornado area of the United States, experiencing an average of less than 4 per year. Tropical hurricanes come close enough to influence North Carolina weather about twice in an average year. Only about once in 10 years, on the average, does this type storm strike the State with sufficient force to do much damage.

Asheville Regional Airport The city of Asheville is located on both banks of the French Broad River, near the center of the French Broad Basin. Upstream from Asheville, the valley runs south for 18 miles and then curves toward the south-southwest. Downstream from the city, the valley is oriented toward the north-northwest. Two miles upstream from the principal section of Asheville, the Swannanoa River joins the French Broad from the east. The entire valley is known as the Asheville Plateau, having an average elevation near 2,200 feet above sea level, and is flanked by mountain ridges to the east and west, whose peaks range from 2,000 to 4,400 feet above the valley floor. At the Carolina-Tennessee border, about 25 miles north-northwest of Asheville, a relatively high ridge of mountains blocks the northern end of the valley. Thirty miles south, the Blue Ridge Mountains form a steep slope, having a general elevation of about 2,700 feet above sea level. Asheville has a temperate, but invigorating, climate. Considerable variation in temperature often occurs from day to day in summer, as well as during the other seasons. The growing season in this area is of sufficient length for commercial crops, the average length of freeze-free period being about 195 days. The average last occurrence in spring of a temperature 32 degrees or lower is mid-April and the average first occurrence in fall of 32 degrees is late October. The orientation of the French Broad Valley appears to have a pronounced influence on the wind direction. Prevailing winds are from the northwest during all months of the year. Also, the shielding effect of the nearby mountain barriers apparently has a direct bearing on the annual amount of precipitation received in this vicinity. In an area northwest of Asheville, the average annual precipitation is the lowest in North Carolina. Precipitation increases sharply in all other directions, especially to the south and southwest. Destructive events caused directly by meteorological conditions are infrequent. The most frequent, occurring at approximately 12-year intervals, are floods on the French Broad River. These floods are usually associated with heavy rains caused by storms moving out of the Gulf of Mexico. Snowstorms which have seriously disrupted normal life in this community are infrequent. Hailstorms that cause property damage are extremely rare.

Cape Hatteras NWS Bldg Hatteras Island is the largest and easternmost island in North Carolina. The average elevation of the island is less than 10 feet above mean sea level. It is separated from the mainland by the Pamlico Sound and is part of a chain of islands known as the Outer Banks. The Island is narrow, ranging from a few hundred yards wide to a few miles wide and is about 54 miles long. Much of the island is a National Park and waterfowl reserve. The Weather Office is located in the village of Buxton about one mile west-northwest of the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Weather observations have been taken continuously since 1874 from locations all within 10 miles of the present stations location. With its maritime climate, Cape Hatteras is very humid, with cooler summers and warmer winters than mainland North Carolina. Ninety degree temperatures are rare in summer, as are the teens in winter. The average first occurrence of freezing temperatures is early December, and the average last occurrence is late February. Average rainfall is greater than any other coastal station in the state. Rainfall is rather evenly distributed throughout the year, with the maximum during July, August, and September. Snowfall is rare and generally light, usually melting as it falls. Winter storms frequently breed offshore where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and the southermost penetration of the Labrador Current meet some 20 to 50 miles off the coast. Late summer and fall tracks of tropical cyclones occasionally threaten the island. These storms produce strong winds, heavy rains and tidal flooding from both the ocean and Pamlico Sound. Many ships have been lost near, or wrecked on, the beaches of the island. More than a million tourists visit the island each year. The proximity of the gulfstream, natural beaches, excellent surf, and offshore fishing make Cape Hatteras a preferred place for vacationers, sportsmen, and campers. The surfing conditions are said to be the best on the east coast.

Charlotte Douglas Int’l Airport Charlotte is located in the Piedmont of the Carolinas, a transitional area of rolling country between the mountains to the west and the Coastal Plain to the east. The mountains are to the northwest about 80 miles from Charlotte. The general elevation of the area around Charlotte is about 730 feet. The Atlantic ocean is about 160 miles southeast. The mountains have a moderating effect on winter temperatures, causing appreciable warming of cold air from the northwest winds. The ocean is too far away to have any immediate effect on summer temperatures but in winter an occasional general and sustained flow of air from the warm ocean waters results in considerable warming. Charlotte enjoys a moderate climate, characterized by cool winters and quite warm summers. Temperatures fall as low as the freezing point on a little over one-half of the days in the winter months. Winter weather is changeable, with occasional cold periods, but extreme cold is rare. Snow is infrequent, and the first snowfall of the season usually comes in late November or December. Heavy snowfalls have occurred, but any appreciable accumulation of snow on the ground for more than a day or two is rare. Summers are long and quite warm, with afternoon temperatures frequently in the low 90s. The growing season is also long, the average length of the freeze-free period being 216 days. On the average, the last occurrence in spring with a temperature of 32 degrees is early April. In the fall the average first occurrence of 32 degrees is early November. Rainfall is generally rather evenly distributed throughout the year, the driest weather usually coming in the fall. Summer rainfall comes principally from thunderstorms with occasional dry spells of one to three weeks duration. Hurricanes which strike the Carolina coast may produce heavy rain but seldom cause dangerous winds.

Greensboro Airport The Greensboro-High Point-Winston-Salem Regional Airport is located in the west-central part of Guilford County, in the northern Piedmont section of North Carolina. The location is near the headwaters of the Haw and Deep Rivers, both branches of the Cape Fear River system. A few miles west is a ridge beyond which lies the Yadkin River Basin. To the north, across a similar ridge, the waters of the Dan River flow northeastward into the Roanoke. West, beyond the Yadkin River Basin, the land gradually rises into the Brushy Mountains. To the northwest, other outcroppings southeast of the Blue Ridge rise into peaks occasionally exceeding 2,500 feet. Winter temperatures and rainfall are both modified by the mountain barrier, but to a lesser extent than in areas closer to the Appalachian Range. Shallow cold air masses from the west tend to be stopped by the mountains, while deeper masses are lifted over the range, losing moisture and warming during the passage. For this reason the lowest temperatures recorded in Forsyth and Guilford Counties usually occur when clear, cold air drifts southward, east of the Appalachian Range. The summer temperatures vary, but are generally mild. Northwesterly winds seldom bring heavy or prolonged winter rain or snow. Flurries of light snow may fall when cold air blows across the mountains, but the heavier winter precipitation comes with winds blowing from northeast through east and south to southwest. When moist winds blowing from an easterly or southerly direction meet cold air moving out of the north or northwest in the vicinity of North Carolina, snow, sleet, or glaze may occur. Seasonal snowfall has a wide range and there have been a few winters with only a trace of snow. Snow seldom stays on the ground more than a few days. Summer precipitation is largely from thunderstorms, mostly local in character. The frequency of these showers and the amount of rain received varies greatly from year to year and from place to place. Sizeable areas are sometimes without significant rain in late spring or early summer for two or more weeks, while other areas in the vicinity may be well watered. Damaging storms are infrequent in the Northern Piedmont area. The highest winds to occur have been associated with thunderstorms, and were of brief duration. Hail is reported within Guilford and Forsyth Counties each year. The occurrence of tornadoes is rare. Hurricanes have produced heavy rainfall here, but no winds of destructive force. Based on the 1951-1980 period, the average first occurrence of 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the fall is October 27 and the average last occurrence in the spring is April 11.

Raleigh-Durham Airport The Raleigh-Durham Airport is located in the zone of transition between the Coastal Plain and the Piedmont Plateau. The surrounding terrain is rolling, with an average elevation of around 400 feet, the range over a 10-mile radius is roughly between 200 and 550 feet. Being centrally located between the mountains on the west and the coast on the south and east, the Raleigh-Durham area enjoys a favorable climate. The mountains form a partial barrier to cold air masses moving eastward from the interior of the nation. As a result, there are few days in the heart of the winter season when the temperature falls below 20 degrees. Tropical air is present over the eastern and central sections of North Carolina during much of the summer season, bringing warm temperatures and rather high humidities to the Raleigh-Durham area. Afternoon temperatures reach 90 degrees or higher on about one-fourth of the days in the middle of summer, but reach 100 degrees less than once per year. Even in the hottest weather, early morning temperatures almost always drop into the lower 70s. Rainfall is well distributed throughout the year as a whole. July and August have the greatest amount of rainfall, and October and November the least. There are times in spring and summer when soil moisture is scanty. This usually results from too many days between rains rather than from a shortage of total rainfall, but occasionally the accumulated total during the growing season falls short of plant needs. Most summer rain is produced by thunderstorms, which may occasionally be accompanied by strong winds, intense rains, and hail. The Raleigh-Durham area is far enough from the coast so that the bad weather effects of coastal storms are reduced. From September 1887 to December 1950, the office was located in the downtown areas of Raleigh. The various buildings occupied were within an area of three blocks. All thermometers were exposed on the roof, and this, plus the smoke over the city, had an effect on the temperature record of that period. Lowest temperatures at the city office were frequently from two to five degrees higher than those recorded in surrounding rural areas. Maximum temperatures in the city were generally a degree or two lower. From September 1946 to May 1954, simultaneous records were kept at a surface location on the North Carolina State College campus in Raleigh, and at the Raleigh-Durham Airport 10 and a half air miles to the northwest. Based on the 1951-1980 period, the average first occurrence of 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the fall is October 27 and the average last occurrence in the spring is April 11.

North Carolina / Climate: National Weather Service Stations

Wilmington Airport Wilmington is located in the tidewater section of southeastern North Carolina, near the Atlantic Ocean. The city proper is built adjacent to the east bank of the Cape Fear River. Because of the curvature of the coastline in this area, the ocean lies about five miles east and about 20 miles south. The surrounding terrain is typical of coastal Carolina. It is low-lying with an average elevation of less than 40 feet, and is characterized by level to gently rolling land with rivers, creeks, and lakes. The maritime location makes the climate of Wilmington unusually mild for its latitude. All wind directions from the east-northeast through southwest have some moderating effects on temperatures throughout the year, because the ocean is relatively warm in winter and cool in summer. The daily range in temperatures is moderate compared to a continental type of climate. As a rule, summers are quite warm and humid, but excessive heat is rare. Sea breezes, arriving early in the afternoon, tend to alleviate the heat further inland. Long-term averages show afternoon temperatures reach 90 degrees or higher on one-third of the days in midsummer, but several years may pass without 100 degree weather. During the colder part of the year, numerous outbreaks of polar air masses reach the Atlantic Coast, causing sharp drops in temperatures. However, these cold outbreaks are significantly moderated by the long trajectories from the source regions, the effects of passing over the Appalachian Range, and the warming effects of the ocean air. As a result, most winters are short and quite mild. Rainfall in this area is usually ample and well-distributed throughout the year, the greatest amount occurring in the summer. Summer rainfall comes principally from thunderstorms, and is therefore usually of short duration, but often heavy and unevenly distributed. Thunderstorms occur about one out of three days from June through August. Winter rain is more likely to be of the slow, steady type, lasting one or two days. Generally, the winter rain is evenly distributed and associated with slow-moving, low-pressure systems. Seldom is there a winter without a few flakes of snow, but several years may pass without a measurable amount. Hail occurs less than once a year. Sunshine is abundant, with the area receiving about two-thirds of the sunshine hours possible at its latitude. Because of these many factors, the growing season is long, averaging 244 days, but records show the range is from 180 days to as long as 302 days. In common with most Atlantic Coastal localities, the area is subject to the effects of coastal storms and occasional hurricanes which produce high winds, above normal tides, and heavy rains.

Profiles of North Carolina & South Carolina

South Carolina / User’s Guide: Profiles

User’s Guide: Profiles PLACES COVERED All 46 counties. 268 incorporated municipalities. Comprised of 66 cities and 202 towns. 100 census designated places (CDP). The U.S. Bureau of the Census defines a CDP as “a statistical entity, defined for each decennial census according to Census Bureau guidelines, comprising a densely settled concentration of population that is not within an incorporated place, but is locally identified by a name. CDPs are delineated cooperatively by state and local officials and the Census Bureau, following Census Bureau guidelines. Beginning with Census 2000 there are no size limits.” 67 unincorporated communities. The communities included have both their own zip code and statistics for their ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) available from the Census Bureau. They are referred to as “postal areas.” A ZCTA is a statistical entity developed by the Census Bureau to approximate the delivery area for a US Postal Service 5-digit or 3-digit ZIP Code in the US and Puerto Rico. A ZCTA is an aggregation of census blocks that have the same predominant ZIP Code associated with the mailing addresses in the Census Bureau’s Master Address File. Thus, the Postal Service’s delivery areas have been adjusted to encompass whole census blocks so that the Census Bureau can tabulate census data for the ZCTAs. ZCTAs do not include all ZIP Codes used for mail delivery and therefore do not precisely depict the area within which mail deliveries associated with that ZIP Code occur. Additionally, some areas that are known by a unique name, although they are part of a larger incorporated place, are also included as “postal areas.”

• • •

• • • •

Important Notes Unincorporated communities that span multiple zip codes are not included in this book. In each community profile, only school districts that have schools that are physically located within the community are shown. In addition, statistics for each school district cover the entire district, regardless of the physical location of the schools within the district. Special care should be taken when interpreting certain statistics for communities containing large colleges or universities. College students were counted as residents of the area in which they were living while attending college (as they have been since the 1950 census). One effect this may have is skewing the figures for population, income, housing, and educational attainment. Some information (e.g. unemployment rates) is available for both counties and individual communities. Other information is available for just counties (e.g. election results), or just individual communities (e.g. local newspapers). Some statistical information is available only for larger communities. In addition, the larger places are more apt to have services such as newspapers, airports, school districts, etc. For the most complete information on any community, you should also check the entry for the county in which the community is located. In addition, more information and services will be listed under the larger places in the county. For a more in-depth discussion of geographic areas, please refer to the Census Bureau’s Geographic Areas Reference Manual at http://www.census.gov/geo/www/garm.html.

DATA SOURCES CENSUS 2000 The parts of the data which are from the 2000 Decennial Census are from the following sources: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary Files 1 and 3. Summary File 3 (SF 3) consists of 813 detailed tables of Census 2000 social, economic and housing characteristics compiled from a sample of approximately 19 million housing units (about 1 in 6 households) that received the Census 2000 long-form questionnaire. Summary File 1 (SF 1) contains 286 tables focusing on age, sex, households, families, and housing units. This file presents 100-percent population and housing figures for the total population, for 63 race categories, and for many other race and Hispanic or Latino categories. Comparing SF 3 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 3 and values in SF 1 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 3 will, however, match the SF 1 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas, whereas SF 3 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 3 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile. 2006 Estimates and 2011 Projections Some 2000 Census data has been updated with data provided by Claritas. Founded in 1971, Claritas is the industry leader in applied demography and the preeminent provider of small-area demographic estimates.

White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “White” or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish. Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “Black, African American, or Negro,” or provide written entries such as African American, Afro-American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian. Asian. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Korean,” “Japanese,” “Vietnamese,” and “Other Asian.” Hispanic. The data on the Hispanic or Latino population, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 5, and short-form questionnaire Item 7. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms, while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire — “Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban” — as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race.

Marital Status: Percentage of population never married, now married, widowed, or divorced. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The marital status classification refers to the status at the time of enumeration. Data on marital status are tabulated only for the population 15 years old and over. Each person was asked whether they were “Now married,” “Widowed,” “Divorced,” or “Never married.” Couples who live together (for example, people in common-law marriages) were able to report the marital status they considered to be the most appropriate.

Never married. Never married includes all people who have never been married, including people whose only marriage(s) was annulled. Now married. All people whose current marriage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This category includes people defined as “separated.” Widowed. This category includes widows and widowers who have not remarried. Divorced. This category includes people who are legally divorced and who have not remarried.

Foreign Born: Percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. Ancestry: Largest ancestry groups reported (up to five). Includes multiple ancestries. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The data represent self-classification by people according to the ancestry group or groups with which they most closely identify. Ancestry refers to a person’s ethnic origin or descent, “roots,” heritage, or the place of birth of the person, the person’s parents, or their ancestors before their arrival in the United States. Some ethnic identities, such as Egyptian or Polish, can be traced to geographic areas outside the United States, while other ethnicities such as Pennsylvania German or Cajun evolved in the United States. The ancestry question was intended to provide data for groups that were not included in the Hispanic origin and race questions. Therefore, although data on all groups are collected, the ancestry data shown in these tabulations are for non-Hispanic and non-race groups. Hispanic and race groups are included in the ‘‘Other groups’’ category for the ancestry tables in these tabulations. The ancestry question allowed respondents to report one or more ancestry groups, although only the first two were coded. If a response was in terms of a dual ancestry, for example, “Irish English,” the person was assigned two codes, in this case one for Irish and another for English. However, in certain cases, multiple responses such as “French Canadian,” “Greek Cypriote,” and “Scotch Irish” were assigned a single code reflecting their status as unique groups. If a person reported one of these unique groups in addition to another group, for example, “Scotch Irish English,” resulting in three terms, that person received one code for the unique group (Scotch-Irish) and another one for the remaining group (English). If a person reported “English Irish French,” only English and Irish were coded. Certain combinations of ancestries where the ancestry group is a part of another, such as “German-Bavarian,” were coded as a single ancestry using the more specific group (Bavarian). Also, responses such as “Polish-American” or “Italian-American” were coded and tabulated as a single entry (Polish or Italian). The Census Bureau accepted “American” as a unique ethnicity if it was given alone, with an ambiguous response, or with state names. If the respondent listed any other ethnic identity such as “Italian-American,” generally the “American” portion of the response was not coded. However, distinct groups such as “American Indian,” “Mexican American,” and “African American” were coded and identified separately because they represented groups who considered themselves different from those who reported as “Indian,” “Mexican,” or “African,” respectively. The data is based on the total number of ancestries reported and coded. Thus, the sum of the counts in this type of presentation is not the total population but the total of all responses.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Manufacturing and Construction Division (http://www.census.gov/const/www/permitsindex.html). Statistics on housing units authorized by building permits include housing units issued in local permit-issuing jurisdictions by a building or zoning permit. Not all areas of the country require a building or zoning permit. The statistics only represent those areas that do require a permit. Current surveys indicate that construction is undertaken for all but a very small percentage of housing units authorized by building permits. A major portion typically get under way during the month of permit issuance and most of the remainder begin within the three following months. Because of this lag, the housing unit authorization statistics do not represent the number of units actually put into construction for the period shown, and should therefore not be directly interpreted as “housing starts.” Statistics are based upon reports submitted by local building permit officials in response to a mail survey. They are obtained using Form C-404 const/www/c404.pdf, “Report of New Privately-Owned Residential Building or Zoning Permits Issued.” When a report is not received, missing data are either (1) obtained from the Survey of Use of Permits (SUP) which is used to collect information on housing starts, or (2) imputed based on the assumption that the ratio of current month authorizations to those of a year ago should be the same for reporting and non-reporting places.

Per Capita Income: Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Median Household Income: Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Average Household Income: Average household income is obtained by dividing total household income by the total number of households. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Percent of Households with Income of $100,000 or more: Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Poverty Rate: Percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two-dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold.

Year structure built refers to when the building was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. For housing units under construction that met the housing unit definition—that is, all exterior windows, doors, and final usable floors were in place—the category “1999 or 2000" was used for tabulations. For mobile homes, houseboats, RVs, etc, the manufacturer’s model year was assumed to be the year built.

Multi-Family Building Permits Issued: Building permits issued for new, multi-family housing units in 2006. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Manufacturing and Construction Division (http://www.census.gov/const/www/permitsindex.html). Statistics on housing units authorized by building permits include housing units issued in local permit-issuing jurisdictions by a building or zoning permit. Not all areas of the country require a building or zoning permit. The statistics only represent those areas that do require a permit. Current surveys indicate that construction is undertaken for all but a very small percentage of housing units authorized by building permits. A major portion typically get under way during the month of permit issuance and most of the remainder begin within the three following months. Because of this lag, the housing unit authorization statistics do not represent the number of units actually put into construction for the period shown, and should therefore not be directly interpreted as “housing starts.” Statistics are based upon reports submitted by local building permit officials in response to a mail survey. They are obtained using Form C-404 const/www/c404.pdf, “Report of New Privately-Owned Residential Building or Zoning Permits Issued.” When a report is not received, missing data are either (1) obtained from the Survey of Use of Permits (SUP) which is used to collect information on housing starts, or (2) imputed based on the assumption that the ratio of current month authorizations to those of a year ago should be the same for reporting and non-reporting places. INCOME Per Capita Income: Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas. Median Household Income: Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Figures shown are 2006 estimates. Source: Claritas.

For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration. Source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 3. Median Age of Housing: Median age of housing was calculated by subtracting median year structure built from 2000 (e.g. if the median year structure built is 1967, the median age of housing in that area is 33 years — 2000 minus 1967). Year structure built refers to when the building was first constructed, not when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. For housing units under construction that met the housing unit definition—that is, all exterior windows, doors, and final usable floors were in place—the category “1999 or 2000" was used for tabulations. For mobile homes, houseboats, RVs, etc, the manufacturer’s model year was assumed to be the year built. The data relate to the number of units built during the specified periods that were still in existence at the time of enumeration.

Cancer is defined as International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes C00 - D48.9 Neoplasms. Source: Centers for Disease Control, CDC Wonder (http://wonder.cdc.gov). Age-adjusted death rates are weighted averages of the age-specific death rates, where the weights represent a fixed population by age. They are used because the rates of almost all causes of death vary by age. Age adjustment is a technique for “removing” the effects of age from crude rates, so as to allow meaningful comparisons across populations with different underlying age structures. For example, comparing the crude rate of heart disease in New York to that of California is misleading, because the relatively older population in New York will lead to a higher crude death rate, even if the age-specific rates of heart disease in New York and California are the same. For such a comparison, age-adjusted rates would be preferable. Age-adjusted rates should be viewed as relative indexes rather than as direct or actual measures of mortality risk. Death rates based on counts of twenty or less (<=20) are flagged as “Unreliable”. Death rates based on fewer than three years of data for counties with populations of less than 100,000 in the 1990 Census counts, are also flagged as “Unreliable” if the number of deaths is five or less (<=5). Air Quality Index: The percentage of days in 2006 the AQI fell into the Good (0-50), Moderate (51-100), Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101-150), and Unhealthy (151+) ranges. Data covers January 2006 through December 2006. Counties with less than 100 days of air quality data were excluded. Source: Air Quality Index Report, 2006, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Air and Radiation (http://www.epa.gov/oar). The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health concerns you should be aware of. The AQI focuses on health effects that can happen within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA uses the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect against harmful health effects. The AQI runs from 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health danger. For example, an AQI value of 50 represents good air quality and little potential to affect public health, while an AQI value over 300 represents hazardous air quality. An AQI value of 100 generally corresponds to the national air quality standard for the pollutant, which is the level EPA has set to protect public health. So, AQI values below 100

South Carolina / User’s Guide: Profiles

are generally thought of as satisfactory. When AQI values are above 100, air quality is considered to be unhealthy—at first for certain sensitive groups of people, then for everyone as AQI values get higher. Each category corresponds to a different level of health concern. For example, when the AQI for a pollutant is between 51 and 100, the health concern is “Moderate.” Here are the six levels of health concern and what they mean:

• • •

• • •

“Good” The AQI value for your community is between 0 and 50. Air quality is considered satisfactory and air pollution poses little or no risk. “Moderate” The AQI for your community is between 51 and 100. Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of individuals. For example, people who are unusually sensitive to ozone may experience respiratory symptoms. “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” Certain groups of people are particularly sensitive to the harmful effects of certain air pollutants. This means they are likely to be affected at lower levels than the general public. For example, children and adults who are active outdoors and people with respiratory disease are at greater risk from exposure to ozone, while people with heart disease are at greater risk from carbon monoxide. Some people may be sensitive to more than one pollutant. When AQI values are between 101 and 150, members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected when the AQI is in this range. “Unhealthy” AQI values are between 151 and 200. Everyone may begin to experience health effects. Members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. “Very Unhealthy” AQI values between 201 and 300 trigger a health alert, meaning everyone may experience more serious health effects. “Hazardous” AQI values over 300 trigger health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.

South Carolina Statewide Testing Results End-of-Course Examination Program (EOCEP) What is the EOCEP? The Education Accountability Act of 1998 requires the development of end-of-course examinations in gateway or benchmark courses. The program is called End-of-Course-Examination Program (EOCEP). The examinations, which count 20 percent of the students’ final grade in each gateway or benchmark course, currently include Algebra 1/Math for the Technologies 2, English 1, and Physical Science. Biology 1/Applied Biology 2 will no longer be administered after summer 2006. In 2006-07, U.S. History and Constitution will be added but will not count as 20 percent of the final grade until fall 2007. Who takes the EOCEP tests? All public middle school, high school, alternative school, adult education, and home school students who are enrolled in courses in which the curriculum standards corresponding to the EOCEP tests are taught, regardless of course name or number, must take the appropriate tests.

High School Assessment Program (HSAP) What is HSAP? The High School Assessment Program (HSAP) meets both federal and state requirements. It meets the requirement of the South Carolina Education Accountability Act (EAA) of 1998 that each public school student pass an exit examination to receive a South Carolina high school diploma. It is also used to measure students’ academic achievement on high school standards in accordance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLBA). The HSAP assesses selected South Carolina academic standards in English language arts and mathematics that students have had opportunity to learn by the end of the tenth grade. The standards assessed on the HSAP are outlined in the HSAP ELA Test Blueprint and HSAP Math Test Blueprint.

Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests (PACT) What is the PACT? The Palmetto Achievement Challenge Tests (PACT) is a standards-based accountability measurement of student achievement in four core academic areas - English language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies. The PACT items are aligned to the South Carolina curriculum standards developed for each discipline. An accountability system and a statewide test, such as the PACT, are mandated by the South Carolina Education Accountability Act of 1998 and the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). What is the purpose of the PACT? The PACT is one part of a comprehensive approach to improve the curriculum and instruction in South Carolina’s schools. Academic progress will be measured by a comparison of the PACT scores for schools, districts, and the State from year to year.

South Carolina / User’s Guide: Ancestry

User’s Guide: Ancestry Places Covered The ranking tables are based on 368 places in South Carolina (except where noted). Places covered fall into one of the following categories: 268 incorporated municipalities. Municipalities are incorporated as either cities or towns. 100 census designated places (CDP). The U.S. Bureau of the Census defines a CDP as “a statistical entity, defined for each decennial census according to Census Bureau guidelines, comprising a densely settled concentration of population that is not within an incorporated place, but is locally identified by a name. CDPs are delineated cooperatively by state and local officials and the Census Bureau, following Census Bureau guidelines. Beginning with Census 2000 there are no size limits.”

Source of Data The ancestries shown in this chapter were compiled from three different sections of the 2000 Census: Race; Hispanic Origin; and Ancestry. While the ancestries are sorted alphabetically for ease-of-use, it’s important to note the origin of each piece of data. Data for Race and Hispanic Origin was taken from Summary File 1 (SF1) while Ancestry data was taken from Summary File 3 (SF3). The distinction is important because SF1 contains the 100-percent data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of all people and about every housing unit. SF3 was compiled from a sample of approximately 19 million housing units (about 1 in 6 households) that received the Census 2000 long-form questionnaire.

Ancestries Based on Race The data on race were derived from answers to the question on race that was asked of all people. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups. If an individual did not provide a race response, the race or races of the householder or other household members were assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if race was missing for a natural-born child in the household, then either the race or races of the householder, another natural-born child, or the spouse of the householder were assigned. If race was not reported for anyone in the household, the race or races of a householder in a previously processed household were assigned.

African American or Black: A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as ‘‘Black, African Am., or Negro,’’ or provide written entries such as African American, Afro American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian. American Indian or Alaska Native: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. It includes people who classified themselves as described below. American Indian - Includes people who indicated their race as “American Indian,” entered the name of an Indian tribe, or reported such entries as Canadian Indian, French American Indian, or Spanish-American Indian. Respondents who identified themselves as American Indian were asked to report their enrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data in tabulations reflect the written entries reported on the questionnaires. Some of the entries (for example, Iroquois, Sioux, Colorado River, and Flathead) represent nations or reservations. The information on tribe is based on self identification and therefore does not reflect any designation of federally or state-recognized tribe. Information on American Indian tribes is presented in summary files. The information for Census 2000 is derived from the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census that was updated based on a December 1997 Federal Register Notice, entitled “Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Service From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs,” Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by the Office of Management and Budget. Alaska Native - Includes written responses of Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians, as well as entries such as Arctic Slope, Inupiat, Yupik, Alutiiq, Egegik, and Pribilovian. The Alaska tribes are the Alaskan Athabascan, Tlingit, and Haida. The information for Census 2000 is based on the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census, which was expanded to list the individual Alaska Native Villages when provided as a written response for race. Asian: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Korean,” “Japanese,” “Vietnamese,” and “Other Asian.” Asian Indian - Includes people who indicated their race as “Asian Indian” or identified themselves as Bengalese, Bharat, Dravidian, East Indian, or Goanese. Chinese - Includes people who indicate their race as “Chinese” or who identify themselves as Cantonese, or Chinese American. Filipino - Includes people who indicate their race as “Filipino” or who report entries such as Philipino, Philipine, or Filipino American. Japanese - Includes people who indicate their race as “Japanese” or who report entries such as Nipponese or Japanese American. Korean - Includes people who indicate their race as “Korean” or who provide a response of Korean American. Vietnamese - Includes people who indicate their race as “Vietnamese” or who provide a response of Vietnamese American.

The data on the Hispanic or Latino population were derived from answers to a question that was asked of all people. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire (“Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban”) as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race. In all cases where the origin of households, families, or occupied housing units is classified as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino, the origin of the householder is used. If an individual could not provide a Hispanic origin response, their origin was assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if origin was missing for a natural-born daughter in the household, then either the origin of the householder, another natural-born child, or spouse of the householder was assigned. If Hispanic origin was not reported for anyone in the household, the Hispanic origin of a householder in a previously processed household with the same race was assigned.

The data on ancestry were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 10, which was asked of a sample of the population. The data represent self-classification by people according to the ancestry group or groups with which they most closely identify. Ancestry refers to a person’s ethnic origin or descent, “roots,” heritage, or the place of birth of the person, the person’s parents, or their ancestors before their arrival in the United States. Some ethnic identities, such as Egyptian or Polish, can be traced to geographic areas outside the United States, while other ethnicities, such as Pennsylvania German or Cajun, evolved in the United States. The intent of the ancestry question was not to measure the degree of attachment the respondent had to a particular ethnicity. For example, a response of “Irish” might reflect total involvement in an Irish community or only a memory of ancestors several generations removed from the individual. Also, the question was intended to provide data for groups that were not included in the Hispanic origin and race questions. Official Hispanic origin data come from long-form questionnaire Item 5, and official race data come from long-form questionnaire Item 6. Therefore, although data on all groups are collected, the ancestry data shown in these tabulations are for non-Hispanic and non-race groups. The ancestry question allowed respondents to report one or more ancestry groups, although only the first two were coded. If a response was in terms of a dual ancestry, for example, “Irish English,” the person was assigned two codes, in this case one for Irish and another for English. However, in certain cases, multiple responses such as “French Canadian,” “Greek Cypriote,” and “Scotch Irish” were assigned a single code reflecting their status as unique groups. If a person reported one of these unique groups in addition to another group, for example, “Scotch Irish English,” resulting in three terms, that person received one code for the unique group (Scotch-Irish) and another one for the remaining group (English). If a person reported “English Irish French,” only English and Irish were coded. Certain combinations of ancestries where the ancestry group is a part of another, such as “German-Bavarian,” were coded as a single ancestry using the more specific group (Bavarian). Also, responses such as “Polish-American” or “Italian-American” were coded and tabulated as a single entry (Polish or Italian). The Census Bureau accepted “American” as a unique ethnicity if it was given alone, with an ambiguous response, or with state names. If the respondent listed any other ethnic identity such as “Italian-American,” generally the “American” portion of the response was not coded. However, distinct groups such as “American Indian,” “Mexican American,” and “African American” were coded and identified separately because they represented groups who considered themselves different from those who reported as “Indian,” “Mexican,” or “African,” respectively.

Census 2000 tabulations on ancestry are presented using two types of data presentations — one using total people as the base, and the other using total responses as the base. This chapter uses total responses as the base and includes the total number of ancestries reported and coded. If a person reported a multiple ancestry such as “French Danish,” that response was counted twice in the tabulations — once in the French category and again in the Danish category. Thus, the sum of the counts in this type of presentation is not the total population but the total of all responses. An automated coding system was used for coding ancestry in Census 2000. This greatly reduced the potential for error associated with a clerical review. Specialists with knowledge of the subject matter reviewed, edited, coded, and resolved inconsistent or incomplete responses. The code list used in Census 2000, containing over 1,000 categories, reflects the results of the Census Bureau’s experience with the 1990 ancestry question, research, and consultation with many ethnic experts. Many decisions were made to determine the classification of responses. These decisions affected the grouping of the tabulated data. For example, the Italian category includes the responses of Sicilian and Tuscan, as well as a number of other responses. Although some people consider religious affiliation a component of ethnic identity, the ancestry question was not designed to collect any information concerning religion. Thus, if a religion was given as an answer to the ancestry question, it was listed in the “Other groups” category which is not shown in this chapter. Ancestry should not be confused with a person’s place of birth, although a person’s place of birth and ancestry may be the same.

Ranking Section In the ranking section of this chapter, each ancestry has three tables. The first table shows the top 10 places sorted by number (based on all places, regardless of population), the second table shows the top 10 places sorted by percent (based on all places, regardless of population), the third table shows the top 10 places sorted by percent (based on places with populations of 10,000 or more). Within each table, column one displays the place name, the state, and the county (if a place spans more than one county, the county that holds the majority of the population is shown). Column two displays the number of people reporting each ancestry, and column three is the percent of the total population reporting each ancestry. For tables representing ancestries based on race or Hispanic origin, the 100-percent population figure from SF1 is used to calculate the value in the “%” column. For all other ancestries the sample population figure from SF3 is used to calculate the value in the “%” column.

User’s Guide: Hispanic Population Places Covered Ranking tables cover all counties and all places in South Carolina with populations of 10,000 or more.

Source of Data CENSUS 2000 Data for this chapter was derived from following source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 4. Summary File 4 (SF 4) contains sample data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of a sample (generally 1-in-6) of all people and housing units. Summary File 4 is repeated or iterated for the total population and 335 additional population groups. This chapter focuses on the following 24 population groups: Hispanic or Latino (of any race) Central American Costa Rican Guatemalan Honduran Nicaraguan Panamanian Salvadoran Cuban Dominican (Dominican Republic) Mexican Puerto Rican South American Argentinian Bolivian Chilean Colombian Ecuadorian Paraguayan Peruvian Uruguayan Venezuelan Spaniard Other Hispanic or Latino Please note that the above list only includes Spanish-speaking population groups. Groups such as Brazilian are not classified as Hispanic by the Bureau of the Census because they primarily speak Portugese. In order for any of the tables for a specific group to be shown in Summary File 4, the data must meet a minimum population threshold. For Summary File 4, all tables are repeated for each race group, American Indian and Alaska Native tribe, and Hispanic or Latino group if the 100-percent count of people of that specific group in a particular geographic area is 100 or more. There also must be 50 or more unweighted people of that specific group in a particular geographic area. For example, if there are 100 or more 100-percent people tabulated as Chilean in County A, and there are 50 or more unweighted people, then all matrices for Chilean are shown in SF 4 for County A. To maintain confidentiality, the Census Bureau applies statistical procedures that introduce some uncertainty into data for small geographic areas with small population groups. Therefore, tables may contain both sampling and nonsampling error. In an iterated file such as SF 4, the universes households, families, and occupied housing units are classified by the race or ethnic group of the householder. In any population table where there is no note, the universe classification is always based on the race or ethnicity of the person. In all housing tables, the universe classification is based on the race or ethnicity of the householder.

South Carolina / User’s Guide: Hispanic Population

Comparing SF 4 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 and SF 2 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1 or SF 2. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 4 and values in SF 1 or SF 2 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 4 will, however, match the SF 1 and SF 2 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. This phenomenon also occurred for the 1990 Census, although in that case, the weighting areas included relatively small places. As a result, the long form estimates matched the short form counts for those places, but the confidence intervals around the estimates of characteristics collected only on the long form were often significantly wider (as a percentage of the estimate). SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas; whereas, SF 4 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 4 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile.

Topics POPULATION Total Population: Sample count of total population. Hispanic Population: The data on the Hispanic or Latino population, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 5, and short-form questionnaire Item 7. The terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic origin,” and “Latino” are used interchangeably. Some respondents identify with all three terms, while others may identify with only one of these three specific terms. Hispanics or Latinos who identify with the terms “Spanish,” “Hispanic,” or “Latino” are those who classify themselves in one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the questionnaire — “Mexican,” “Puerto Rican,” or “Cuban” — as well as those who indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.” People who do not identify with one of the specific origins listed on the questionnaire but indicate that they are “other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino” are those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic, or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on. All write-in responses to the “other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino” category were coded. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race. Population groups whose primary language is not Spanish are not classified as Hispanic by the Bureau of the Census and are not included in this chapter (eg. Brazilian). AGE Median Age: Divides the age distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median age and one-half above the median. Median age is computed on the basis of a single year of age standard distribution. The data on age, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to the long-form questionnaire Item 4 and short-form questionnaire Item 6. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years as of April 1, 2000. The age of the person usually was derived from their date of birth information. Their reported age was used only when date of birth information was unavailable.

HOUSEHOLD SIZE Average Household Size: A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households by the total number of households (or householders). In cases where household members are tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, household members are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth. LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME English Only: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking English-only at home. Spanish: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking Spanish at home. Language spoken at home data were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 11a and 11b, which were asked of a sample of the population. Data were edited to include in tabulations only the population 5 years old and over. Questions 11a and 11b referred to languages spoken at home in an effort to measure the current use of languages other than English. People who knew languages other than English but did not use them at home or who only used them elsewhere were excluded. Most people who reported speaking a language other than English at home also speak English. The questions did not permit determination of the primary or dominant language of people who spoke both English and another language. FOREIGN-BORN Foreign Born: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Foreign-Born Naturalized Citizens: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth but became U.S. citizens by naturalization. The data on place of birth were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 12 which was asked of a sample of the population. Respondents were asked to report the U.S. state, Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Area, or foreign country where they were born. People not reporting a place of birth were assigned the state or country of birth of another family member or their residence 5 years earlier, or were imputed the response of another person with similar characteristics. People born outside the United States were asked to report their place of birth according to current international boundaries. Since numerous changes in boundaries of foreign countries have occurred in the last century, some people may have reported their place of birth in terms of boundaries that existed at the time of their birth or emigration, or in accordance with their own national preference. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT High School Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a high school diploma or higher. This category includes people whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people who received a college, university, or professional degree. People who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not high school graduates. 4-Years College Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a 4-year college, university, or professional degree. Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 9, which was asked of a sample of the population. Data on attainment are tabulated for the population 25 years old and over. The order in which degrees were listed on the questionnaire suggested that doctorate degrees were “higher” than professional school degrees, which were “higher” than master’s degrees. The question included instructions for people currently enrolled in school to report the level of the previous grade attended or the highest degree received. Respondents who did not report educational attainment or enrollment level were assigned the attainment of a person of the same age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, occupation and sex, where possible, who resided in the same or a nearby area. Respondents who filled more than one box were edited to the highest level or degree reported. The question included a response category that allowed respondents to report completing the 12th grade without receiving a high school diploma. It allowed people who received either a high school diploma or the equivalent (Test of General Educational Development—G.E.D.) and did not attend college, to be reported as “high school

graduate(s).” The category “Associate degree” included people whose highest degree is an associate degree, which generally requires 2 years of college level work and is either in an occupational program that prepares them for a specific occupation, or an academic program primarily in the arts and sciences. The course work may or may not be transferable to a bachelor’s degree. Master’s degrees include the traditional MA and MS degrees and field-specific degrees, such as MSW, MEd, MBA, MLS, and MEng. Some examples of professional degrees include medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology. Vocational and technical training such as barber school training; business, trade, technical, and vocational schools; or other training for a specific trade, are specifically excluded. INCOME AND POVERTY Median Household Income (in dollars): Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Per Capita Income (in dollars): Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The data on income in 1999 were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 31 and 32, which were asked of a sample of the population 15 years old and over. “Total income” is the sum of the amounts reported separately for wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends, or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; social security or railroad retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments; retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income. Receipts from the following sources are not included as income: capital gains, money received from the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such property); the value of income “in kind” from food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care, employer contributions for individuals, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; and gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts. The eight types of income reported in the census are defined as follows: Wage or salary income. Wage or salary income includes total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the calendar year 1999. It includes wages, salary, armed forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned before deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc. Self-employment income. Self-employment income includes both farm and nonfarm self-employment income. Nonfarm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one’s own business, professional enterprise, or partnership. Gross receipts include the value of all goods sold and services rendered. Expenses include costs of goods purchased, rent, heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and salaries paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. Farm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from the operation of a farm by a person on his or her own account, as an owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts include the value of all products sold, government farm programs, money received from the rental of farm equipment to others, and incidental receipts from the sale of wood, sand, gravel, etc. Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and other farming supplies, cash wages paid to farmhands, depreciation charges, cash rent, interest on farm mortgages, farm building repairs, farm taxes (not state and federal personal income taxes), etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as part of net income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income includes interest on savings or bonds, dividends from stockholdings or membership in associations, net income from rental of property to others and receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalties, and periodic payments from an estate or trust fund. Social Security income. Social security income includes social security pensions and survivors benefits, permanent disability insurance payments made by the Social Security Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance, and railroad retirement insurance checks from the U.S. government. Medicare reimbursements are not included. Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a nationwide U.S. assistance program administered by the Social Security Administration that guarantees a minimum level of income for needy aged, blind,

or disabled individuals. The census questionnaire for Puerto Rico asked about the receipt of SSI; however, SSI is not a federally administered program in Puerto Rico. Therefore, it is probably not being interpreted by most respondents as the same as SSI in the United States. The only way a resident of Puerto Rico could have appropriately reported SSI would have been if they lived in the United States at any time during calendar year 1999 and received SSI. Public assistance income. Public assistance income includes general assistance and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Separate payments received for hospital or other medical care (vendor payments) are excluded. This does not include Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Retirement income. Retirement income includes: (1) retirement pensions and survivor benefits from a former employer; labor union; or federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (2) income from workers’ compensation; disability income from companies or unions; federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (3) periodic receipts from annuities and insurance; and (4) regular income from IRA and KEOGH plans. This does not include social security income. All other income. All other income includes unemployment compensation, Veterans’ Administration (VA) payments, alimony and child support, contributions received periodically from people not living in the household, military family allotments, and other kinds of periodic income other than earnings. Poverty Status: Number and percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold. HOUSING Homeownership: Number and percentage of housing units that are owner-occupied. The data on tenure, which was asked at all occupied housing units, were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 33, and short-form questionnaire Item 2. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or renter occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire. The unit is “Owned by you or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan” if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement, such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment loans balances are also included in this category. Median Gross Rent (in dollars): Median monthly gross rent on specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family houses on 10 acres or more. The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 45a-d, which were asked on a sample basis. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of utilities and fuels are reported on an annual basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No cash rent’’ in the tabulations.

Housing units that are renter occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as “No cash rent” in census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who live elsewhere and who allow occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, or others. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration. If the contract rent includes rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another household, only that part of the rent estimated to be for the respondent’s unit was included. Excluded was any rent paid for additional units or for business premises. If a renter pays rent to the owner of a condominium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or cooperative carrying charge also is paid by the renter to the owner, the condominium fee or carrying charge was included as rent. If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the household, the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or roomers was to be reported. The respondent was to report the rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid by someone else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, a church or welfare agency, or the government through subsidies or vouchers. The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median contract rent and one-half above the median. Median contract rents are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Units reported as “No cash rent” are excluded. Median Home Value (in dollars): Reported by the owner of specified owner-occupied or specified vacant-for-sale housing units. Specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units include only 1-family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. The data for “specified units” exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. The data on value (also referred to as “price asked” for vacant units) were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 51, which was asked on a sample basis at owner-occupied housing units and units that were being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. Value is the respondent’s estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but the land on which it sits was not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. Value was tabulated separately for all owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale housing units, owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale mobile homes, and specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units. The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Median values are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

User’s Guide: Asian Population Places Covered Ranking tables cover all counties and places in South Carolina with Asian and/or Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander residents.

Source of Data CENSUS 2000 Data for this chapter was derived from following source: U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing, 2000: Summary File 4. Summary File 4 (SF 4) contains sample data, which is the information compiled from the questions asked of a sample (generally 1-in-6) of all people and housing units. Summary File 4 is repeated or iterated for the total population and 335 additional population groups. This chapter focuses on the following 23 population groups: Asian Asian Indian Bangladeshi Cambodian Chinese (except Taiwanese) Filipino Hmong Indonesian Japanese Korean Laotian Malaysian Pakistani Sri Lankan Taiwanese Thai Vietnamese Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Fijian Guamanian or Chamorro Hawaiian, Native Samoan Tongan Please note that this chapter only includes people who responded to the question on race by indicating only one race. These people are classified by the Census Bureau as the race alone population. For example, respondents reporting a single detailed Asian group, such as Korean or Filipino, would be included in the Asian alone population. Respondents reporting more than one detailed Asian group, such as Chinese and Japanese or Asian Indian and Chinese and Vietnamese would also be included in the Asian alone population. This is because all of the detailed groups in these example combinations are part of the larger Asian race category. The same criteria apply to the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander groups. In order for any of the tables for a specific group to be shown in Summary File 4, the data must meet a minimum population threshold. For Summary File 4, all tables are repeated for each race group, American Indian and Alaska Native tribe, and Hispanic or Latino group if the 100-percent count of people of that specific group in a particular geographic area is 100 or more. There also must be 50 or more unweighted people of that specific group in a particular geographic area. For example, if there are 100 or more 100-percent people tabulated as Korean in County A, and there are 50 or more unweighted people, then all matrices for Korean are shown in SF 4 for County A. To maintain confidentiality, the Census Bureau applies statistical procedures that introduce some uncertainty into data for small geographic areas with small population groups. Therefore, tables may contain both sampling and nonsampling error.

In an iterated file such as SF 4, the universes households, families, and occupied housing units are classified by the race or ethnic group of the householder. In any population table where there is no note, the universe classification is always based on the race or ethnicity of the person. In all housing tables, the universe classification is based on the race or ethnicity of the householder. Comparing SF 4 Estimates with Corresponding Values in SF 1 and SF 2 As in earlier censuses, the responses from the sample of households reporting on long forms must be weighted to reflect the entire population. Specifically, each responding household represents, on average, six or seven other households who reported using short forms. One consequence of the weighting procedures is that each estimate based on the long form responses has an associated confidence interval. These confidence intervals are wider (as a percentage of the estimate) for geographic areas with smaller populations and for characteristics that occur less frequently in the area being examined (such as the proportion of people in poverty in a middle-income neighborhood). In order to release as much useful information as possible, statisticians must balance a number of factors. In particular, for Census 2000, the Bureau of the Census created weighting areas—geographic areas from which about two hundred or more long forms were completed—which are large enough to produce good quality estimates. If smaller weighting areas had been used, the confidence intervals around the estimates would have been significantly wider, rendering many estimates less useful due to their lower reliability. The disadvantage of using weighting areas this large is that, for smaller geographic areas within them, the estimates of characteristics that are also reported on the short form will not match the counts reported in SF 1 or SF 2. Examples of these characteristics are the total number of people, the number of people reporting specific racial categories, and the number of housing units. The official values for items reported on the short form come from SF 1 and SF 2. The differences between the long form estimates in SF 4 and values in SF 1 or SF 2 are particularly noticeable for the smallest places, tracts, and block groups. The long form estimates of total population and total housing units in SF 4 will, however, match the SF 1 and SF 2 counts for larger geographic areas such as counties and states, and will be essentially the same for medium and large cities. This phenomenon also occurred for the 1990 Census, although in that case, the weighting areas included relatively small places. As a result, the long form estimates matched the short form counts for those places, but the confidence intervals around the estimates of characteristics collected only on the long form were often significantly wider (as a percentage of the estimate). SF 1 gives exact numbers even for very small groups and areas; whereas, SF 4 gives estimates for small groups and areas such as tracts and small places that are less exact. The goal of SF 4 is to identify large differences among areas or large changes over time. Estimates for small areas and small population groups often do exhibit large changes from one census to the next, so having the capability to measure them is worthwhile.

Topics POPULATION Total Population: Sample count of total population of all races. Asian Population: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes Asian Indian, Bangladeshi, Cambodian, Chinese (except Taiwanese), Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Malaysian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Taiwanese, Thai, and Vietnamese. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) Population: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. It includes people who indicate their race as Fijian, Guamanian or Chamorro, Native Hawaiian, Samoan, and Tongan. The data on race, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 6 and short-form questionnaire Item 8. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are socio-political constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups. If an individual did not provide a race response, the race or races of the householder or other household members were assigned using specific rules of precedence of household relationship. For example, if race was missing for a natural-born child in the household, then either the race or races of the householder, another natural-born child, or

the spouse of the householder were assigned. If race was not reported for anyone in the household, the race or races of a householder in a previously processed household were assigned. AGE Median Age: Divides the age distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median age and one-half above the median. Median age is computed on the basis of a single year of age standard distribution. The data on age, which was asked of all people, were derived from answers to the long-form questionnaire Item 4 and short-form questionnaire Item 6. The age classification is based on the age of the person in complete years as of April 1, 2000. The age of the person usually was derived from their date of birth information. Their reported age was used only when date of birth information was unavailable. HOUSEHOLD SIZE Average Household Size: A measure obtained by dividing the number of people in households by the total number of households (or householders). In cases where household members are tabulated by race or Hispanic origin, household members are classified by the race or Hispanic origin of the householder rather than the race or Hispanic origin of each individual. Average household size is rounded to the nearest hundredth. LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME English Only: Number and percentage of population 5 years and over who report speaking English-only at home. Language spoken at home data were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 11a and 11b, which were asked of a sample of the population. Data were edited to include in tabulations only the population 5 years old and over. Questions 11a and 11b referred to languages spoken at home in an effort to measure the current use of languages other than English. People who knew languages other than English but did not use them at home or who only used them elsewhere were excluded. Most people who reported speaking a language other than English at home also speak English. The questions did not permit determination of the primary or dominant language of people who spoke both English and another language. FOREIGN-BORN Foreign Born: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.S. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States. Foreign-Born Naturalized Citizens: Number and percentage of population who were not U.S. citizens at birth but became U.S. citizens by naturalization. The data on place of birth were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 12 which was asked of a sample of the population. Respondents were asked to report the U.S. state, Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Area, or foreign country where they were born. People not reporting a place of birth were assigned the state or country of birth of another family member or their residence 5 years earlier, or were imputed the response of another person with similar characteristics. People born outside the United States were asked to report their place of birth according to current international boundaries. Since numerous changes in boundaries of foreign countries have occurred in the last century, some people may have reported their place of birth in terms of boundaries that existed at the time of their birth or emigration, or in accordance with their own national preference. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT High School Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a high school diploma or higher. This category includes people whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people who received a college, university, or professional degree. People who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not high school graduates. Four-Year College Graduates: Number and percentage of the population age 25 and over who have a 4-year college, university, or professional degree.

Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 9, which was asked of a sample of the population. Data on attainment are tabulated for the population 25 years old and over. The order in which degrees were listed on the questionnaire suggested that doctorate degrees were “higher” than professional school degrees, which were “higher” than master’s degrees. The question included instructions for people currently enrolled in school to report the level of the previous grade attended or the highest degree received. Respondents who did not report educational attainment or enrollment level were assigned the attainment of a person of the same age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, occupation and sex, where possible, who resided in the same or a nearby area. Respondents who filled more than one box were edited to the highest level or degree reported. The question included a response category that allowed respondents to report completing the 12th grade without receiving a high school diploma. It allowed people who received either a high school diploma or the equivalent (Test of General Educational Development—G.E.D.) and did not attend college, to be reported as “high school graduate(s).” The category “Associate degree” included people whose highest degree is an associate degree, which generally requires 2 years of college level work and is either in an occupational program that prepares them for a specific occupation, or an academic program primarily in the arts and sciences. The course work may or may not be transferable to a bachelor’s degree. Master’s degrees include the traditional MA and MS degrees and field-specific degrees, such as MSW, MEd, MBA, MLS, and MEng. Some examples of professional degrees include medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law, and theology. Vocational and technical training such as barber school training; business, trade, technical, and vocational schools; or other training for a specific trade, are specifically excluded. INCOME AND POVERTY Median Household Income (in dollars): Includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. For households, the median income is based on the distribution of the total number of households including those with no income. Median income for households is computed on the basis of a standard distribution and is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Per Capita Income (in dollars): Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group. Per capita income is rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The data on income in 1999 were derived from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 31 and 32, which were asked of a sample of the population 15 years old and over. “Total income” is the sum of the amounts reported separately for wage or salary income; net self-employment income; interest, dividends, or net rental or royalty income or income from estates and trusts; social security or railroad retirement income; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); public assistance or welfare payments; retirement, survivor, or disability pensions; and all other income. Receipts from the following sources are not included as income: capital gains, money received from the sale of property (unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such property); the value of income “in kind” from food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care, employer contributions for individuals, etc.; withdrawal of bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; and gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts. The eight types of income reported in the census are defined as follows: Wage or salary income. Wage or salary income includes total money earnings received for work performed as an employee during the calendar year 1999. It includes wages, salary, armed forces pay, commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, and cash bonuses earned before deductions were made for taxes, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc. Self-employment income. Self-employment income includes both farm and nonfarm self-employment income. Nonfarm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus expenses) from one’s own business, professional enterprise, or partnership. Gross receipts include the value of all goods sold and services rendered. Expenses include costs of goods purchased, rent, heat, light, power, depreciation charges, wages and salaries paid, business taxes (not personal income taxes), etc. Farm self-employment income includes net money income (gross receipts minus operating expenses) from the operation of a farm by a person on his or her own account, as an owner, renter, or sharecropper. Gross receipts include the value of all products sold, government farm programs, money received from the rental of farm equipment to others, and incidental receipts from the sale of wood,

sand, gravel, etc. Operating expenses include cost of feed, fertilizer, seed, and other farming supplies, cash wages paid to farmhands, depreciation charges, cash rent, interest on farm mortgages, farm building repairs, farm taxes (not state and federal personal income taxes), etc. The value of fuel, food, or other farm products used for family living is not included as part of net income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income. Interest, dividends, or net rental income includes interest on savings or bonds, dividends from stockholdings or membership in associations, net income from rental of property to others and receipts from boarders or lodgers, net royalties, and periodic payments from an estate or trust fund. Social Security income. Social security income includes social security pensions and survivors benefits, permanent disability insurance payments made by the Social Security Administration prior to deductions for medical insurance, and railroad retirement insurance checks from the U.S. government. Medicare reimbursements are not included. Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a nationwide U.S. assistance program administered by the Social Security Administration that guarantees a minimum level of income for needy aged, blind, or disabled individuals. The census questionnaire for Puerto Rico asked about the receipt of SSI; however, SSI is not a federally administered program in Puerto Rico. Therefore, it is probably not being interpreted by most respondents as the same as SSI in the United States. The only way a resident of Puerto Rico could have appropriately reported SSI would have been if they lived in the United States at any time during calendar year 1999 and received SSI. Public assistance income. Public assistance income includes general assistance and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Separate payments received for hospital or other medical care (vendor payments) are excluded. This does not include Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Retirement income. Retirement income includes: (1) retirement pensions and survivor benefits from a former employer; labor union; or federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (2) income from workers’ compensation; disability income from companies or unions; federal, state, or local government; and the U.S. military; (3) periodic receipts from annuities and insurance; and (4) regular income from IRA and KEOGH plans. This does not include social security income. All other income. All other income includes unemployment compensation, Veterans’ Administration (VA) payments, alimony and child support, contributions received periodically from people not living in the household, military family allotments, and other kinds of periodic income other than earnings. Poverty Status: Number and percentage of population with income in 1999 below the poverty level. Based on individuals for whom poverty status is determined. Poverty status was determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years old. The poverty status of families and unrelated individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) arranged in a two dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross-classified by presence and number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2-person families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person (RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty threshold. HOUSING Homeownership: Number and percentage of housing units that are owner-occupied. The data on tenure, which was asked at all occupied housing units, were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 33, and short-form questionnaire Item 2. All occupied housing units are classified as either owner occupied or renter occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if the owner or co-owner lives in the unit even if it is mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner must live in the unit and usually is Person 1 on the questionnaire. The unit is “Owned by you

or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan” if it is being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement, such as a deed of trust, trust deed, contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase agreement. The unit is also considered owned with a mortgage if it is built on leased land and there is a mortgage on the unit. Mobile homes occupied by owners with installment loans balances are also included in this category. Median Gross Rent (in dollars): Median monthly gross rent on specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units. Specified renter-occupied and specified vacant-for-rent units exclude 1-family houses on 10 acres or more. The data on gross rent were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Items 45a-d, which were asked on a sample basis. Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment. The estimated costs of utilities and fuels are reported on an annual basis but are converted to monthly figures for the tabulations. Renter units occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as ‘‘No cash rent’’ in the tabulations. Housing units that are renter occupied without payment of cash rent are shown separately as “No cash rent” in census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who live elsewhere and who allow occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, tenant farmers, sharecroppers, or others. Contract rent is the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it is the monthly rent asked for the rental unit at the time of enumeration. If the contract rent includes rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another household, only that part of the rent estimated to be for the respondent’s unit was included. Excluded was any rent paid for additional units or for business premises. If a renter pays rent to the owner of a condominium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or cooperative carrying charge also is paid by the renter to the owner, the condominium fee or carrying charge was included as rent. If a renter receives payments from lodgers or roomers who are listed as members of the household, the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or roomers was to be reported. The respondent was to report the rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid by someone else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, a church or welfare agency, or the government through subsidies or vouchers. The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median contract rent and one-half above the median. Median contract rents are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. Units reported as “No cash rent” are excluded. Median Home Value (in dollars): Reported by the owner of specified owner-occupied or specified vacant-for-sale housing units. Specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units include only 1-family houses on less than 10 acres without a business or medical office on the property. The data for “specified units” exclude mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 10 or more acres, and housing units in multi-unit buildings. The data on value (also referred to as “price asked” for vacant units) were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 51, which was asked on a sample basis at owner-occupied housing units and units that were being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. Value is the respondent’s estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but the land on which it sits was not, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. Value was tabulated separately for all owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale housing units, owner-occupied and vacant-for-sale mobile homes, and specified owner-occupied and specified vacant-for-sale housing units. The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median value of the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot, or condominium unit) and one-half above the median. Median values are computed on the basis of a standard distribution and are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.

User’s Guide: Climate Inclusion Criteria — How the Data and Stations Were Selected There were two central goals in the preparation of the climate chapter. The first was to select those data elements which would have the broadest possible use by the greatest range of potential users. For most of the National Weather Service stations there is a substantial quantity and variety of climatological data that is collected, however for the majority of stations the data is more limited. After evaluating the available data set, the editors chose nine temperature measures, five precipitation measures, and heating and cooling degree days — sixteen key data elements that are widely requested and are believed to be of the greatest general interest. The second goal was to provide data for as many weather stations as possible. Although there are over 10,000 stations in the United States, not every station collects data for both precipitation and temperature, and even among those that do, the data is not always complete for the last thirty years. As the editors used a different methodology than that of NCDC to compute data, a formal data sufficiency criteria was devised and applied to the source tapes in order to select stations for inclusion. Sources of the Data The data in the climate chapter is compiled from several sources. The majority comes from the original National Climactic Data Center computer tapes (TD-3220 Summary of Month Co-Operative). This data was used to create the entire table for each Cooperative station and part of each National Weather Service station. The remainder of the data for each NWS station comes from the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary, Version 4.0, September 1996, which is also available from the NCDC. NCDC has two main classes or types of weather stations; first order stations which are staffed by professional meteorologists and cooperative stations which are staffed by volunteers. In the climate chapter all first order stations operated by the National Weather Service are included, as well as every cooperative station that met our selection criteria. Potential cautions in using Weather America First, as with any statistical reference work of this type, users need to be aware of the source of the data. The information here comes from NOAA, and it is the most comprehensive and reliable core data available. Although it is the best, it is not perfect. Most weather stations are staffed by volunteers, times of observation sometimes vary, stations occasionally are moved (especially over a thirty year period), equipment is changed or upgraded, and all of these factors affect the uniformity of the data. the climate chapter does not attempt to correct for these factors, and is not intended for either climatologists or atmospheric scientists. Users with concerns about data collection and reporting protocols are both referred to NCDC technical documentation, and also, they are perhaps better served by using the original computer tapes themselves as well. Second, users need to be aware of the methodology used, which is described later in this User’s Guide. Although this methodology has produced fully satisfactory results, it is not directly compatible with other methodologies, hence variances in the results published here and those which appear in other publications will doubtlessly arise. Third, is the trap of that informal logical fallacy known as “hasty generalization,” and its corollaries. This may involve presuming the future will be like the past (specifically, next year will be an average year), or it may involve misunderstanding the limitations of an arithmetic average, but more interestingly, it may involve those mistakes made most innocently by generalizing informally on too broad a basis. As weather is highly localized, the data should be taken in that context. A weather station collects data about climatic conditions at that spot, and that spot may or may not be an effective paradigm for an entire town or area. For example, the weather station in Burlington, Vermont is located at the airport about 3 miles east of the center of town. Most of Burlington is a lot closer to Lake Champlain, and that should mean to a careful user that there could be a significant difference between the temperature readings gathered at the weather station and readings that might be gathered at City Hall downtown. How much would this difference be? How could it be estimated? There are no answers here for these sorts of questions, but it is important for users of this book to raise them for themselves. (It is interesting to note that similar situations abound across the country. For example, compare different readings for the multiple stations in San Francisco, CA or for those around New York City.) Our source of data has been consistent, so has our methodology. The data has been computed and reported consistently as well. As a result, the climate chapter should prove valuable to the careful and informed reader.

Weather Station Tables The weather station tables are grouped by type (National Weather Service and Cooperative) and then arranged alphabetically. The station name is almost always a place name, and is shown here just as it appears in NCDC data. The station name is followed by the county in which the station is located, the elevation of the station (at the time beginning of the thirty year period) and the latitude and longitude. The National Weather Service Station tables contain 30 data elements which were compiled from two different sources, the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary (ISMCS) and NCDC TD-3220 data tapes. The following 14 elements are from the ISMCS: maximum precipitation, minimum precipitation, maximum 24-hour precipitation, maximum snowfall, maximum 24-hour snowfall, thunderstorm days, foggy days, predominant sky cover, relative humidity (morning and afternoon), dewpoint, wind speed and direction, and maximum wind gust. The remaining 16 elements come from the TD-3220 data tapes. The period of record (POR) for data from the TD-3220 data tapes is 1970-1999. The POR for ISMCS data varies from station to station. Weather Elements (National Weather Service and Cooperative Stations) The following elements were compiled by the editor from the NCDC TD-3220 data tapes using a period of record of 1970-1999. The average temperatures (maximum, minimum, and mean) are the average (see Methodology below) of those temperatures for all available values for a given month. For example, for a given station the average maximum temperature for July is the arithmetic average of all available maximum July temperatures for that station. (Maximum means the highest recorded temperature, minimum means the lowest recorded temperature, and mean means an arithmetic average temperature.) The extreme maximum temperature is the highest temperature recorded in each month over the period 1970-1999. The extreme minimum temperature is the lowest temperature recorded in each month over the same time period. The days for maximum temperature and minimum temperature are the average number of days those criteria were met for all available instances. The symbol >= means greater than or equal to, the symbol <= means less than or equal to. For example, for a given station, the number of days the maximum temperature was greater than or equal to 90°F in July, is just an arithmetic average of the number of days in all the available Julys for that station. Heating and cooling degree days are based on the median temperature for a given day and its variance from 65°F. For example, for a given station if the day’s high temperature was 50°F and the day’s low temperature was 30°F, the median (midpoint) temperature was 40°F. 40°F is 25 degrees below 65°F, hence on this day there would be 25 heating degree days. The also applies for cooling degree days. For example, for a given station if the day’s high temperature was 80°F and the day’s low temperature was 70°F, the median (midpoint) temperature was 75°F. 75°F is 10 degrees above 65°F, hence on this day there would be 10 cooling degree days. All heating and/or cooling degree days in a month are summed for the month giving respective totals for each element for that month. These sums for a given month for a given station over the past thirty years are again summed and then arithmetically averaged. It should be noted that the heating and cooling degree days do not cancel each other out. It is possible to have both for a given station in the same month. Precipitation data is computed the same as heating and cooling degree days. Mean precipitation and mean snowfall are arithmetic averages of cumulative totals for the month. All available values for the thirty year period for a given month for a given station are summed and then divided by the number of values. The same is true for days of greater than or equal to 0.1" and 1.0" of precipitation, and days of greater than or equal to 1.0" of snow depth on the ground. The word trace appears for precipitation and snowfall amounts that are too small to measure. Finally, remember that all values presented in the tables and the rankings are averages of available data (see Methodology below) for that specific data element for the last thirty years (1970-1999). Weather Elements (National Weather Service Stations Only) The following elements were taken directly from the International Station Meteorological Climate Summary. The periods of records vary per station. Maximum precipitation, minimum precipitation, maximum 24-hour precipitation, maximum snowfall, maximum 24-hour snowfall, thunderstorm days, foggy days, relative humidity (morning and afternoon), dewpoint, prevailing wind speed and direction, and maximum wind gust are all self-explanatory. The word trace appears for precipitation and snowfall amounts that are too small to measure.

Predominant sky cover contains four possible entries: CLR (clear); SCT (scattered); BRK (broken); and OVR (overcast). How Cooperative Stations Were Selected The basic criteria is that a station must have data for temperature, precipitation, heating and cooling degree days of sufficient quantity in order to create a meaningful average. More specifically, the definition of sufficiency here has two parts. First, there must be 22 values for a given data element (with the exception of cooling degree days which required only 14 values in order to be considered sufficient- more about this later), and second, eight of the sixteen elements included in the table must pass this sufficiency test. For example, in regard to average maximum temperature (the first element on every data table), a given station needs to have a value for every month of at least 22 of the last thirty years in order to meet the criteria, and, in addition, every station included must have at least eight of the sixteen elements at least this minimal level of completeness in order to fulfill the criteria. By using this procedure, 3,933 stations met these requirements and are included here. Methodology The following discussion applies only to data compiled from the NCDC TD-3220 data tapes. The climate chapter is based on an arithmetic average of all available data for a specific data element at a given station. For example, the average maximum daily high temperature during July for Pontiac, New York was abstracted from NCDC source tapes for the thirty Julys, starting in July, 1970 and ending in July, 1999. These thirty figures were then summed and divided by thirty to produce an arithmetic average. As might be expected, there were not thirty values for every data element on every table. For a variety of reasons, NCDC data is sometimes incomplete. Thus the following standards were established. For those data elements where there were 26-30 values, the data was taken to be essentially complete and an average was computed. For data elements where there were 22-25 values, the data was taken as being partly complete but still valid enough to use to compute an average. Such averages are shown in bold italic type to indicate that there was less than 26 values. For the few data elements where there were not even 22 values, no average was computed and ‘na’ appears in the space. If any of the twelve months for a given data element reported a value of ‘na’, no annual average was computed and the annual average was reported as ‘na’ as well. This procedure was followed for 15 of the 16 data elements. The one exception is cooling degree days. The collection of this data began in 1980 so the following standards were adopted: for those data elements where there were 17-20 values, the data was taken to be essentially complete and an average was computed. For data elements where there were 14-16 values, the data was taken as being partly complete but still valid enough to use to compute an average. Such averages are shown in bold italic type to indicate that there was 14-16 values. For the few data elements where there were not even 14 values, no average was computed and ‘na’ appears in the space. If any of the twelve months for a given data element reported a value of ‘na’, no annual average was computed and the annual average was reported as ‘na’ as well. Thus the basic computational methodology of the climate chapter is to provide an arithmetic average. Because of this, such a pure arithmetic average is somewhat different from the special type of average (called a “normal”) which NCDC procedures produces and appears in federal publications. Perhaps the best outline of the contrasting normalization methodology is found in the following paragraph (which appears as part of an NCDC technical document titled, CLIM81 1961-1990 NORMALS TD-9641 prepared by Lewis France of NCDC in May, 1992): Normals have been defined as the arithmetic mean of a climatological element computed over a long time period. International agreements eventually led to the decision that the appropriate time period would be three consecutive decades (Guttman, 1989). The data record should be consistent (have no changes in location, instruments, observation practices, etc.; these are identified here as “exposure changes”) and have no missing values so a normal will reflect the actual average climatic conditions. If any significant exposure changes have occurred, the data record is said to be “inhomogeneous,” and the normal may not reflect a true climatic average. Such data need to be adjusted to remove the nonclimatic inhomogeneities. The resulting (adjusted) record is then said to be “homogeneous.” If no exposure changes have occurred at a station, the normal is calculated simply by averaging the appropriate 30 values from the 1961-1990 record. In the main, there are two “inhomogeneities” that NCDC is correcting for with normalization: adjusting for variances in time of day of observation (at the so-called First Order stations data is based on midnight to midnight observation

times and this practice is not necessarily followed at cooperative stations which are staffed by volunteers), and second, estimating data that is either missing or incongruent. A long discussion of the normalization process is not required here but a short note concerning comparative results of the two methodologies is appropriate. When the editors first started compiling the climate chapter a concern arose because the normalization process would not be replicated: would our methodology produce strikingly different results than NCDC’s? To allay concerns, results of the two processes were compared for the time period normalized results are available (1961-1990). In short, what was found was that the answer to this question is no. Never-the-less, users should be aware that because of both the time period covered (1970-1999) and the methodology used, data in the climate chapter is not compatible with data from other sources.

South Carolina / Charleston County

History: Charles Town, as it was originally called, was settled in 1670 by English pioneers who established themselves on Albemarle Point, westward across the Ashley River from the present location. Oyster Point was higher and better adapted for defense, and was selected for the site of the town laid out in 1672. For many years Charleston’s history was the history of South Carolina. It was the center from which colonization radiated and the capital of the province until 1786. The influx of French Huguenots and French Catholics from Acadia in the 17th century, the arrival of Scots and South Germans in the 18th century, and immigration of North Germans and Irish in the 19th century gave Charleston a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The name was changed from Charles Town to Charleston in 1783 after more than two years of British occupation. The long siege of the city during the Civil War took its toll on Charleston, which was the center of blockade running for the Confederates and the place where submarine warfare was introduced. Recovery after the war was slowed by a devastating earthquake in 1886.

FLORENCE (city). County seat. Covers a land area of 17.696 square miles and a water area of 0.029 square miles. Located at 34.18° N. Lat.; 79.77° W. Long. Elevation is 138 feet. History: Florence owes its existence to the eccentricity of Colonel Eli Gregg who, in the 1850’s, owned the largest store at Mars bluff, seven miles eastward. Due to his prejudice against railroad workmen, Colonel Gregg refused to allow a depot in his neighborhood, and consequently the Wilmington & Manchester Railroad was forced to locate its station some distance away in an uninhabited forest of virgin pines. First called Wilds, the name was changed to Florence in 1859, in honor of the baby daughter of General William Harllee, head of the railroad. During the Civil War, Florence rose to importance as a shipping center and point of embarkation for troops, as a hospital town, and finally as a prison where some 8,000 Federal prisoners were held. Population: 31,112 (1990); 30,248 (2000); 30,995 (2006); 31,681 (2011 projected); Race: 51.4% White, 45.7% Black, 1.6% Asian, 0.7% Hispanic of

History: The name of Greenwood dates from 1823, when Judge John McGehee built his log cabin on a tract of forest land and his wife named the plantation Green Wood. When the McGehees sold the tract in 1829 to J.Y. Jones, he parceled it off and sold lots. Although the residents called their settlement Green Wood, the first post office, established in 1837, was Woodville. The Post Office Department finally conformed to local custom in 1850, making the name Greenwood. The Southern Railway reached Greenwood in 1852, and the town was incorporated in 1857. In 1897 Greenwood was made the seat of the new county of Greenwood created from parts of Edgefield and Abbeville Counties.

1760 Kershaw was milling flour, operating saw and gristmills, indigo works, a tobacco warehouse, and a distillery. Camden’s name was selected in 1768 to honor Charles Pratt, Earl of Camden, who championed colonial rights. Camden was incorporated in 1791. Fourteen Revolutionary War battles were waged in Camden, the most important being the Battle of Camden on August 16, 1780, called America’s most disastrous defeat. Camden was again torn by war between 1861 and 1865, and was burned by Sherman in February 1865. For nearly a century Camden, noted for its duels, was the mecca for gentlemen seeking instruction in the code of honor, until the Cash-Shannon duel in 1880 caused the adoption of the antidueling law in the State constitution.

COLUMBIA (city). County seat. Covers a land area of 125.224 square miles and a water area of 2.492 square miles. Located at 34.01° N. Lat.; 81.01° W. Long. Elevation is 292 feet. History: Columbia was founded as the capital of South Carolina in 1786, the site chosen as a compromise between the small farmers of the Up Country and the wealthier Low Country planters. Colonel Thomas Taylor’s plantation, The Plains, and parts of the surrounding farms near Friday’s Ferry were selected for the location of the capital. Columbia’s business boomed after the invention of the cotton gin in 1801, and the textile industry flourished with the establishment of cotton factories. Columbia was incorporated in 1805. When the Civil War began, Columbia was believed safe from invasion, but Sherman led 40,000 troops into the city on February 16, 1865. Though the city surrendered, it was burned to the ground. Reconstruction was a hard time, but Columbia emerged to continue its textile industry.

County seat. Covers a land area of 19.154 square miles and a water area of 0.094 square miles. Located at 34.94° N. Lat.; 81.92° W. Long. Elevation is 807 feet. History: The city and county of Spartanburg derive their name from the Spartan Regiment, a body of South Carolina militia which was formed here in 1776 and served throughout the Revolution. The site for the new county seat was selected in 1785, when Thomas Williamson gave two acres of virgin forest on his plantation for the purpose. Spartanburg was incorporated in 1831. Transportation was an early problem, as the site was not on any established roads or waterways, making the railroad’s arrival in 1859 an important event. Spartanburg boomed during the Civil War, supplying provisions and tools for the Confederate forces. The city profited by war for the second time in 1917, when it became nationally important as the site of Camp Wadsworth. Population: 44,673 (1990); 39,673 (2000); 37,895 (2006); 36,786 (2011 projected); Race: 43.9% White, 52.1% Black, 1.4% Asian, 2.6% Hispanic of any race (2006); Density: 1,978.4 persons per square mile (2006); Average household size: 2.45 (2006); Median age: 35.1 (2006); Males per 100

County seat. Covers a land area of 26.585 square miles and a water area of 0.165 square miles. Located at 33.92° N. Lat.; 80.36° W. Long. Elevation is 171 feet. History: The city of Sumter was first called Sumterville after Revolutionary General Thomas Sumter, whose home was nearby. In 1798 the village was selected for the courthouse of old Sumter District, and town lines were laid out in 1800. With no access to waterways or railroad, development was slow. The Camden branch of the South Carolina Railroad reached the town in 1843, followed by other railroads and a system of highways, and the town was incorporated in 1845. It is recorded that a Sumter soldier, George E. Haynesworth, fired the first shot of the Civil War on January 9, 1861. In 1912 Sumter was first in the U.S. to adopt the commission-city-manager form of government.

Carolina was 238. This was not significantly different from¹ their average score in 2003 (236), and was higher than their average score in 1992 (212). South Carolina's average score (238) in 2005 was not significantly different from that of the Nation's public schools (237). Of the 52 states and other jurisdictions² that participated in the 2005 fourth-grade assessment, students' average scale scores in South Carolina were higher than those in 18 jurisdictions, not significantly different from those in 18 jurisdictions, and lower than those in 15 jurisdictions. The percentage of students in South Carolina who performed at or above the NAEP Proficient level was 36 percent in 2005. This percentage was not significantly different from that in 2003 (32 percent), and was greater than that in 1992 (13 percent). The percentage of students in South Carolina who performed at or above the NAEP Basic level was 81 percent in 2005.

that was not found to be significantly different from that of female students. In 1992, there was no significant difference between the average score of male and female students. In 2005, Black students had an average score that was lower than that of White students by 26 points. This performance gap was narrower than that of 1992 (31 points). In 2005, Hispanic students had an average score that was lower than that of White students by 14 points. Data are not reported for Hispanic students in 1992, because reporting standards were not met. Therefore, the performance gap data are not reported. In 2005, students who were eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch, an indicator of poverty, had an average score that was lower than that of students who were not eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch by 23 points. In 1996, the average score for students who were eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch was lower than the score of those not eligible by 25 points. In 2005, the score gap between students at the 75th percentile and students at the 25th percentile was 37 points. This performance gap was narrower than that of 1992 (43 points).

Scores at selected percentiles on the NAEP mathematics scale indicate how well students at lower, middle, and higher levels of the distribution performed.

that was not significantly different from that of female students. In 1996, the average score for male students was higher than that of female students by 6 points. In 2005, Black students had an average score that was lower than that of White students by 32 points. In 1996, the average score for Black students was lower than that of White students by 32 points. In 2005, Hispanic students had an average score that was lower than that of White students by 28 points. Data are not reported for Hispanic students in 1996, because reporting standards were not met. Therefore, the performance gap results are not reported. In 2005, students who were eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch, an indicator of poverty, had an average score that was lower than that of students who were not eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch by 26 points. In 1996, the average score for students who were eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch was lower than the score of those not eligible by 24 points. In 2005, the score gap between students at the 75th percentile and students at the 25th percentile was 45 points. In 1996, the score gap between students at the 75th percentile and students at the 25th percentile was 45 points.

Scores at selected percentiles on the NAEP science scale indicate how well students at lower, middle, and higher levels performed.

¹ Comparisons (higher/lower/not different) are based on statistical tests. The .05 level was used for testing statistical significance. Comparisons across jurisdictions and comparisons with the nation or within a jurisdiction across years may be affected by differences in exclusion rates for students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL). The exclusion rates for SD and ELL in South Carolina were 4 percent and 1 percent in 2005, respectively. Statistical comparisons are calculated on the basis of unrounded scale scores or percentages. ² "Jurisdiction" refers to states and the Department of Defense Education Activity schools. NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because the "Information not available" category for free/reduced-price school lunch and the "Unclassifed" category for race/ethnicity are not displayed.

South Carolina / Climate: State Summary

SOUTH CAROLINA PHYSICAL FEATURES. South Carolina is located on the southeastern coast of the United States between the southern part of the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Its north-south extent is 220 miles, from 32° to 35.2° N. latitude. The mountains in the extreme northwestern part of the State are 240 miles from the coastline. The coastline is 185 miles long and oriented southwest to northeast. South Carolina shares some common topographic features with several eastern seaboard states. All of these features have a southwest to northeast orientation and extend across the whole State. The Blue Ridge Range of the Appalachian Mountains lies in the extreme northwestern part of the State. Elevations range from 1,000 to 2,000 feet with several peaks going over 3,000 feet. Sassafras Mountain, at 3,554 feet elevation, is the highest point in the State. The Mountain Region covers less than 10 percent of the State’s area and to its southeast lies the Piedmont Plateau. The Plateau extends nearly to the center of the State with elevations decreasing northwest to southeast from 1,000 to 500 feet. There is a narrow hilly region where the Plateau descends to the Coastal Plain. In South Carolina this “fall line” region is known as the “Sand Hills;” where elevations range from 500 to 200 feet. The width of the Sand Hills area is about 30 to 40 miles. Between the Sand Hills and the Atlantic Ocean lies the Coastal Plain. The Plain is broad and nearly level with elevations mostly between 50 and 200 feet. About 40 percent of the area of the State lies in the Coastal Plain. All of the State’s rivers drain southeast from the Mountain Region or Piedmont Plateau toward the ocean. There are three major and one minor river-basin systems. The Santee is the largest and drains the entire center portion of the State. The Savannah drains the western part of the State. The third major system is the Pee Dee, located in the northeastern section. The Edisto is a lesser river system lying between the Santee and Savannah. There are many low sea islands separated from the mainland by shallow straits, sounds, and coastal streams. The Intracoastal Waterway can be found along much of the coastline. GENERAL CLIMATE. Several major factors combine to give South Carolina a pleasant, mild, and humid climate. It is located at a relatively low latitude (32 to 35° N.) and most of the State is under 1,000 feet in elevation. It has a long coastline along which moves the warm Gulf Stream current. The mountains to the north and west block or delay many cold air masses approaching from those directions. Even the deep cold air masses which cross the mountains rapidly are warmed somewhat as the air is heated by compression when it descends on the southeastern side. This effect can be seen on the maps of minimum temperature in January and to a lesser degree in July, where a fairly large area of relatively higher temperature appears just southeast of the mountains. It is convenient for climatic discussion to divide the State into areas coinciding closely with the topographic features already discussed. Six areas can be defined: (1) the Outer Coastal Plain; (2) the Inner Coastal Plain; (3) the Sand Hills; (4) the Lower Piedmont Plateau; (5) the Upper Piedmont Plateau; and (6) the Mountain Region. TEMPERATURE. Lower temperatures can be expected in the Upper Piedmont and Mountain Region, where latitude, elevation and distance inland all have large values. Higher temperatures will result from smaller values of the three factors, as are found along the southern coast. There is a gradual decrease in annual average temperature northwestward from 68°F. at the coast to 58°F. at the edge of the mountains. Within the Mountain Region, variations in temperature are due almost entirely to elevation differences. The ocean waters have very small daily and annual changes in temperature when compared with the land surface. The air over the coastal water is cooler than the air over the land in summer and warmer than the air over land in winter, and this has a controlling effect on the temperatures of locations on and very near the coast. The highest temperatures are found in the central part of the State with the coast being four to five degrees cooler. Clouds and rainfall have a minor effect on temperature. Maximum temperatures in summer are reduced slightly in areas where afternoon cloudiness and rain are persistent. Such an area is found along the Outer Coastal Plain where sea breezes produce clouds and rain nearly every summer day and dissipate at night. Summers are rather hot and air conditioning is desirable at elevations below 500 feet. Fall and spring are mild and winters are rather cool at elevations above 500 feet. PRECIPITATION. Rainfall is adequate in all parts of the State. Annual rainfall averages up to 80 inches in the highest part of the Mountain Region and less than 42 inches in parts of the Inner Coastal

Plain and the Sand Hills. The Mountain Region is wet with amounts of 56 inches or more, the Upper Piedmont is relatively wet with amounts of 48 to 55 inches, the Lower Piedmont is relatively dry with amounts of 43 to 47 inches, the Outer Coastal Plain is relatively wet with amounts of 48 to 53 inches, and the Inner Coastal Plain is relatively dry with amounts of 38 to 47 inches. The Sand Hills area is less clear cut but is in general a relatively wet strip with a small dry area imbedded in it a few miles south of Columbia. The immediate south coast is also on the dry side. The driest period is in October and November when there is little cyclonic storm activity. Rainfall increases gradually and reaches a peak in March when cyclone and cold front activity are at a maximum. There is a general decrease again to a dry period from late April through early June. From the latter part of June through early September is a wet period primarily due to thunderstorm and shower activity which reaches its peak in July, the wettest summer month. The summer maximum stretches a little into the fall along the coast due to occasional tropical storm activity. Solid forms of precipitation include snow, sleet, and hail. Hail is not frequent but does occur with spring thunderstorms from March through early May. Snow and sleet may occur separately, combined or mixed with rain during the winter months of December through February. Snow may occur from one to three times in winter. Seldom do accumulations remain very long on the ground except in the mountains. Statewide snows of notable amounts can occur when a cyclonic storm moves northeastward along or just off the coast. Freezing rain also occurs from one to three times per winter in the northern half of the State. Severe drought occurs about once in 15 years with less severe and less widespread droughts about once in seven or eight years. OTHER CLIMATIC ELEMENTS. The percent of possible sunshine received varies over the State, similar to the variation in cloudiness and precipitation. Values in winter range from 50 to 60 percent, in summer from 60 to 70, with the dry periods in spring and fall receiving 70 to 75 percent. The variation in relative humidity with time of day is considerably greater than day to day and month to month variations. Highest values of 80 to 90 percent or more are reached at about sunrise and the lowest values of 45 to 50 percent occur an hour or two after local noon. There is about a 10 percent difference between winter and summer, with summer being the higher of the two seasons. The prevailing surface winds tend to be either from northeast or southwest due to the presence and orientation of the Appalachian Mountains. Winds of all directions occur throughout the State during the year, but the prevailing directions by seasons are: spring-southwest; summer-south and southwest; autumn-northeast; and winter-northeast and southwest. STORMS. Severe weather comes to South Carolina occasionally in the form of violent thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes. Although thunderstorms are common in the summer months, the more violent ones generally accompany the squall lines and active cold fronts of spring. Generally, they bring high winds, hail, and considerable lightning, and sometimes spawn a tornado (average of seven or eight a year). Sixty percent of the tornadoes occur from March through June with April being the peak month with 25 percent. Tropical storms or hurricanes affect the State about one year out of two. Most of the occurrences are tropical storms which do little damage, frequently bringing rains at a time when they are needed. Most of the hurricanes affect only the Outer Coastal Plain. If they do come far inland, they decrease in intensity quite rapidly. Considerable flooding accompanies hurricanes which come very far inland and high tides occur along the coast to the north and east of the storm centers. There is minor flooding somewhere in the State every year. It can occur on any of the many streams and rivers. There is a major flood about once every seven or eight years. There have been many earth tremors in South Carolina over the years. The southern part of the Coastal Plain is indicated as earthquake prone.

South Carolina / Climate: National Weather Service Stations

Charleston Int’l Airport Charleston is a peninsula city bounded on the west and south by the Ashley River, on the east by the Cooper River, and on the southeast by a spacious harbor. Weather records for the airport are from a site some 10 miles inland. The terrain is generally level, ranging in elevation from sea level to 20 feet on the peninsula, with gradual increases in elevation toward inland areas. The climate is temperate, modified considerably by the nearness to the ocean. The marine influence is noticeable during winter when the low temperatures are sometimes 10-15 degrees higher on the peninsula than at the airport. By the same token, high temperatures are generally a few degrees lower on the peninsula. The prevailing winds are northerly in the fall and winter, southerly in the spring and summer. Summer is warm and humid. Temperatures of 100 degrees or more are infrequent. High temperatures are generally several degrees lower along the coast than inland due to the cooling effect of the sea breeze. Summer is the rainiest season with 41 percent of the annual total. The rain, except during occasional tropical storms, generally occurs as showers or thunderstorms. The fall season passes through the warm Indian Summer period to the pre-winter cold spells which begin late in November. From late September to early November the weather is mostly sunny and temperature extremes are rare. Late summer and early fall is the period of maximum threat to the South Carolina coast from hurricanes. The winter months, December through February, are mild with periods of rain. However, the winter rainfall is generally of a more uniform type. There is some chance of a snow flurry, with the best probability of its occurrence in January, but a significant amount is rarely measured. An average winter would experience less than one cold wave and severe freeze. Temperatures of 20 degrees or less on the peninsula and along the coast are very unusual. The most spectacular time of the year, weatherwise, is spring with its rapid changes from windy and cold in March to warm and pleasant in May. Severe local storms are more likely to occur in spring than in summer. The average occurrence of the first freeze in the fall is early December, and the average last freeze is late February, giving an average growing season of about 294 days.

Columbia Metro Airport Columbia is centrally located within the state of South Carolina and lies on the Congaree River near the confluence of the Broad and Saluda Rivers. The surrounding terrain is rolling, sloping from about 350 feet above sea level in northern Columbia to about 200 feet in the southeastern part of the city. The climate in the Columbia area is relatively temperate. The Appalachian Mountain chain, some 150 miles to the northwest, frequently retards the approach of unseasonable cold weather in the winter. The terrain offers little moderating effect on the summer heat. Long summers are prevalent with warm weather usually lasting from sometime in May into September. In summer the Bermuda high is the greatest single weather factor influencing the area. This permanent high more or less blocks the entry of cold fronts so that many stall before reaching central South Carolina. Also, the southwestern flow around the offshore Bermuda high pressure supplies moisture for the many summer thunderstorms. There are relatively few breaks in the heat during midsummer. The typical summer has about six days with 100 degrees or more. Thunderstorm activity usually shows a decided increase during June, decreasing about the first of September. About once or twice a year, passing tropical storms produce strong winds and heavy rains. The incidence of these storms is greatest in September, although they represent a possible threat from midsummer to late fall. Damage from tropical storms is usually minor in the Columbia area. Fall is the most pleasant time of the year. Rainfall during the late fall is at an annual minimum, while the sunshine is at a relative maximum. Winters are mild with the cold weather usually lasting from late November to mid-March. The winter weather at Columbia is largely made up of polar air outbreaks that reach this area in a much modified form. On rare occasions in winter, Arctic air masses push southward as far as central South Carolina and cause some of the coldest temperatures. Disruption of activities from snowfall is unusual, in fact, more than three days of sustained snow cover is rare. Spring is the most changeable season of the year. The temperature varies from an occasional cold snap in March to generally warm and pleasant in May. While tornadoes are infrequent, they occur most often in the spring. Hailstorms are not frequent, with the annual incidence at a maximum in spring and early summer. The average occurrence of the last spring freeze is very late March, and the first fall freeze is early November, for a growing period of about 218 days.

South Carolina / Climate: National Weather Service Stations

Greenville-Spartanbrg Airport This station, three miles south of Greer, South Carolina, is located in the Piedmont section, on the eastern slope of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. It is rolling country with the first ridge of the mountains about 20 miles to the northwest and the main ridge about 55 miles to the northwest. These mountains usually protect this area from the full force of the cold air masses which move southeastward from central Canada during the winter months. At present, the National Weather Service Office is located at the Greenville-Spartanburg Jet Age Airport, on a level with, or slightly higher than, most of the surrounding countryside. No bodies of water are nearby. Temperatures are quite consistent with those in Greer, Greenville, and Spartanburg. The elevation of the area, ranging from 800 to 1,100 feet is conducive to cool nights, especially during the summer months. Winters are quite pleasant, with the temperature remaining below freezing throughout the daylight hours only a few times during a normal year. There are usually two freezing rainstorms each winter and two or three small snowstorms. Rainfall in this section is usually abundant and spread quite evenly through the months. Droughts have been experienced, but are usually of short duration. The mountain ridges, which lie in a northeast-southwest direction, appear to have a definite overall influence on the direction of the wind. The prevailing directions are northeast and southwest, divided almost evenly, with fall and winter favoring northeast and spring and summer favoring southwest. Destructive winds occur occasionally, while tornadoes are infrequent in this vicinity. In the southern two-thirds of Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, including the cities of the same names, the average occurrence of the last temperature of 32 degrees in spring is late March and the average occurrence of the first in fall is early November, giving an average growing season of 225 days. In a normal year some flowering shrubs bloom through the winter. In the higher elevations in the northern thirds of these counties, the growing season begins about one month later and ends about one month earlier.
