>>Anybody know offhand what the minority population of *Minneapolis* is?
A quick check of the US Census 2000 Fact Finder (http://factfinder.census.gov) turned up: MINNEAPOLIS 65.1% - White 18.0% - Black, African-American 6.1% - Asian 4.1% - Some other race 2.2% - Native American 0.1% - Hawaiian/Pacific 4.4% - Two or more races Latino/Hispanic is tracked as an ethnicity, not a race. Census says: 7.6% - Latino/Hispanic 92.4% - Not Latino/Hipanic Our CITY data seems like much more relevant information than the STATE census number used by SSB to evaluate the make-up of the police: "2000 US Census for *Minnesota*: 10% Minority Population 2000 *Minneapolis* Police Department: 15.11% sworn minority employees" Jennifer Smith Lake Calhoun -- _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
