  • 1.  Estimates of non-Hispanic Black/African-American Adults

    Posted 03-19-2019 03:48 PM

    It's straightforward to get estimates of the total number of adults in a geography and the total number of Black, non-Hispanic persons in a geography, but I can't see any way to get the combination of these things (the number of Black, non-Hispanic adults in a geography).

    Does anyone know how to accomplish this seemingly simple goal using the American FactFinder?

    I know I could get a decent approximation by using microdata, but I'd rather not resort to that since it severely limits the geographies that I can work with and because the use of microdata introduces some additional sampling error.

    Isn't this table B03002 HISPANIC OR LATINO ORIGIN BY RACE

    That's a good suggestion. Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, that gives the total population (adults + minors) and can't be adjusted to only include adults.
