All Things Census (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose: low income, sales, 2015)

[sdurbanite]

I can't be the only one interested in census data, right? The charts below show are metro rankings for income, poverty and health coverage. SD is above average in all 3 categories.

2016 ACS Census Report: Foreign-Born Population for PCSAs

They just got around to releasing the 2016 census estimates for demographical trends in the United States metropolitan regions. First list is by all PCSAs that have a total population over 900,000 people. The "PCSA" stands for Primary Census Statistical Area, which means CSAs for areas that have them and MSAs for areas that don't have CSAs. I'll do a separate list for MSAs in the future, but for the time being will include the Washington DC MSA and Baltimore MSA separately under the overall list.

2016 Foreign-Born Population:

01. Greater New York CSA: 6,415,181

02. Greater Los Angeles CSA: 5,639,329

03. Greater San Francisco Bay Area CSA: 2,630,446

06. Greater Chicago CSA: 1,690,211
07. Greater Houston CSA: 1,608,306

09. Greater Boston CSA: 1,280,280

10. Greater Atlanta CSA: 861,723

13. Greater Seattle CSA: 754,083
14. Greater Phoenix MSA: 675,911
15. Greater Las Vegas CSA: 506,630

16. Greater Orlando CSA: 498,491
17. Greater Detroit CSA: 476,970
18. Greater Sacramento CSA: 453,780
19. Greater Denver CSA: 411,395
20. Greater Tampa Bay Area MSA: 403,995
21. Greater Minneapolis/Saint Paul CSA: 393,818
22. Greater Portland CSA: 370,475
23. Greater Austin MSA: 296,031
24. Greater San Antonio MSA: 295,313
25. Greater Charlotte CSA: 248,734
26. Greater Fresno CSA: 244,579
27. Greater Raleigh/Durham CSA: 243,723
28. Greater Salt Lake City CSA: 226,326
29. Greater Cape Coral-Fort Myers-Naples CSA: 211,125

30. Greater Hartford CSA: 178,568
31. Greater Cleveland CSA: 173,663
32. Greater Columbus CSA: 159,710
33. Greater Indianapolis CSA: 158,903
34. Greater Kansas City CSA: 158,560
35. Greater Tucson CSA: 150,994
36. Greater Nashville CSA: 146,185
37. Greater Saint Louis CSA: 135,957
38. Greater Milwaukee CSA: 131,606
39. Greater Jacksonville CSA: 129,941
40. Greater Greensboro/Winston-Salem CSA: 126,291
41. Greater Virginia Beach/Norfolk CSA: 116,031
42. Greater Albuquerque CSA: 103,603

43. Greater Cincinnati CSA: 98,419
44. Greater Pittsburgh CSA: 92,723
45. Greater Richmond MSA: 92,149
46. Greater Albany CSA: 81,217
47. Greater Greenville CSA: 78,676
48. Greater Grand Rapids CSA: 78,540
49. Greater Rochester CSA: 76,774

51. Greater Louisville CSA: 70,426
52. Greater Tulsa CSA: 70,046
53. Greater Buffalo CSA: 69,846
54. Greater Harrisburg CSA: 63,741
55. Greater Chattanooga CSA: 52,377
56. Greater Birmingham CSA: 51,971
57. Greater Knoxville CSA: 43,924
58. Greater Columbia CSA: 41,088

The Baltimore MSA and Washington D.C. MSA separately;

- Greater Baltimore MSA: 292,149
- Greater Washington D.C. MSA: 1,407,787

For whatever reason, information is either not available for or has become very difficult to extract for El Paso, Honolulu, McAllen. Same goes for San Juan. Those will be omitted because the ACS isn't giving me their 2016 numbers for whatever reason.

Also, I put in some separation between clusters of PCSAs (hence the gap), to show close clustering and general range and/or tiers.



2016 ACS Census Report: Foreign-Born Population for PCSAs

Well, you know I love me some factual data! So, a great thread, suburbanite. Thanks for digging this up.

A couple of questions for clarification purposes: In the charts in post one, are the figures for healthcare coverage percentages of people insured or uninsured?

Also, I don't see NY City or NY metro on the list of median incomes. Was that just excluded or an oversight in transcription? It's very interesting to see the SD median incomes in comparison to other major metro areas. We like to tell ourselves that we are all underpaid here, but looking at the data it really doesn't look like we're doing all that bad.

Lots of other interesting data here to digest.

I'll add a few more statistics, just for perspective.

Median sales price of homes, June 2017 (includes all homes --single family, condos, mobile homes):$543,500

Median price of Single Family homes: $595,000

Median price for condos: $412,500

Median price for newly built homes: $787,000

$543,500: San Diego home price breaks another record - The San Diego Union-Tribune

Median rent for a one bedroom in San Diego County as of August 2017: $1800

Median rent for a two bedroom in San Diego County: $2259

First thing that stuck out to me was how much the uninsured population dropped as ACA rolled out. Logically I knew ACA has been very successful but it's nice seeing the impact graphically.

Second thing was seeing the huge number of foreign born in San Diego (797k or 25% of population). I knew it would be high but was unsure of the exact percentage. I wonder if you include children of the foreign born, if it would get up to 50%.

It's the percentage of people who are uninsured.

Take a look again, Rosie. I see NYC included in all of the stats mentioned above.

And yes, I'm sure we all complain about being underpaid, but many places are worse than us. It's our home prices that throw everything off. This census data is a couple of years old, but shows SD ranked 5th in percentage of residents earning salaries over $150,000.

I don't think the percentage would change much if you included their children. I'm guessing many of them were born in this country. Or maybe the estimates include children? The only surprises I see on that list is how high Detroit and Orlando are ranked.

Is there an ajustment for the much higher COL in San Diego and other CA cities?

Your money simply doesn’t go far enough in CA, so you can make 70k a year and still be considered poor or in the struggling class, yet someone making 70k in Texas is living like a king.

There are plenty of articles and data out there that say all CA cities are among the least affordable in the country, and raw Census data is often used in those calculations. I find it interesting myself.

In the OC board, there’s a thread about how someone making 70-80k a year is actually considered low income in OC and how they would qualify for low income housing!!

That’s incredible if you ask me.

Not sure if that’s for a family of 2 or 4, but regardless it just goes to show how quickly expensive CA is becoming for a lot of people as wages aren’t going up fast enough to keep up with housing inflation. The math isn’t in favor for many people that live here anymore. The question is, is your job giving you a 6 to 8 percent raises every year? I am guessing no.

The homeless population has no choice but to grow as the housing shortage and a combination of greed from landlords has made matters worse. Driving downtown at night picking up drunk people after they party in the Gaslamp and EV really shocked me in terms of how dire the homeless population is becoming. It literally looks like a 3rd world country off imperial ave 16th and 17th st. The mental ones that are out of control yelling at nothing seem to be everywhere now. They’re like zombies from the walking dead. Not to mention the pungent odors of **** and **** driving down those streets almost makes me wanna puke!

So although SD does well in many stats, our city isn’t as rosy as we all might think it is. The lack of any political will seriously is crushing any hope we have to make SD a place for everyone to live happily not just the select few.
