Demographic Profile
To identify your communitys demographic profile, visit the U.S. Census Bureau website. In the center of the opening page, you will find a box with the title Quick Facts. Inside the Quick Facts box, enter your zip code, and select your city or county of residence.
There are several primary headings, such as People, Businesses, and Geography. Within these, there are sub-characteristics. Locate the data associated, or closely associated, to each of the sub-characteristics, and create a demographic profile. Below is an example of how your outcome might look.
1. Housing/Location
a. Owner or renter-occupied units
b. Age and condition of structures
c. Percentage of vacant/abandoned or blighted structures
You will repeat this format for each of the primary characteristics. If the census data is not available for a specific characteristic, simply leave that characteristic blank, and do not invent the data. Compile this data to support your stance on the community risk reduction project.
