Help needed: Age distribution of Black Population in Wisconsin
Gun Watch ^ | 8 September, 2014 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 09/07/2014 7:33:24 PM PDT by marktwain

I am working on an article where I need age distribution of Black males in Wisconsin. I need the number of Black males in Wisconsin 15-35 years old in 2010. 2010 is a census year, so you would think it would be easy to find, but I have not found it so far.

I have found a reference for the national figures in wikipedia, but not for the state figures.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would also like the numbers for Hispanics of the same age and sex in 2010 in Wisconsin. I have estimates based on percent of the total population, but I was hoping that the census had better numbers.

Google “infoplease Wisconsin demographics” ... first link listed.

Sorry ... Chrome won’t let me paste the link into this form for some reason.

I have done that, but so far, have not been able to back out the numbers by age and race. One or the other, yes, but not both.

I am sure some will, but in this case, there is simply a lot more data for Black males than for any other group.

I did a demographics study in 1990 in which I ranked Florida’s 67 counties first by homicide rate then by percentage of the population which was Black.

I was surprised the prof agreed to the study.

The information was obtained from a book titled U.S. Statistics. Every large library has it. I suspect it is now on the internet.

BTW there was a positive correlation between percentage Black and homicide rates. I had to use several decades of information because some counties only had one or no homicides.

I didn’t try to compare rural Blacks to Urban Blacks homicide rates but it was clear just looking at the data that the combination of urban setting and high percentage of the population being Black was really what caused the rate to go up.

Some of the rural counties in the central panhandle had a lot of Blacks but their murder rate was not much higher than the mostly White counties.

2010 Census

15 to 17 years 11,158
18 and 19 years 7,355
20 years 3,386
21 years 3,186
22 to 24 years 8,632
25 to 29 years 13,429

Not easy to find, but having looked for similar in on census.gov I was able to pull it up.

This is from the P12B SEX BY AGE (BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN ALONE) 2010 SF1 100% Data file.

Interestingly, I noticed the two age cohorts shown alone were similar counts. What this shows is there are more black males per age in the younger ages. Not sure what to atribute this to. I don’t know enough about Wisconsin demographics. Wisconsin grew 6% from 2000 to 2010 so that would be a factor.

Avg # in each age group
15 to 17 years 5,579
18 and 19 years 3,678
20 years 3,386
21 years 3,186
22 to 24 years 2,877
25 to 29 years 2,686
30 to 34 years 2,475
Avg of all age cohorts 3,133

Data schmata, they don't care about facts. In their eyes you are a racist. F them.
