Hispanics in a Racially and Ethnically Mixed Neighborhood in the Greater Metropolitan New Orleans Area
Hispanics in a Racially and Ethnically Mixed Neighborhood in the Greater Metropolitan New Orleans Area
EV92-16
Introduction
This is the final report on a study of causes of census undercount of Hispanics in a racially and ethnically mixed neighborhood conducted under the auspices of Hispanidad, Inc. in a Joint Statistical Agreement with the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The locus of the research was in Kenner, Louisiana, a city which forms part of the Standard Metropolitan Area of New Orleans.
Kenner was selected because of the relatively high concentration of Hispanic population, a demographic pattern which we believe has continued and, in all probability, increased during the decade leading to the 1990 Census. The ethnographic site was a 400 unit apartment complex, set in a racially and ethnically mixed neighborhood, which is known to have a large number of Hispanic residents. The complex itself reflects this heterogenous pattern. The ethnographic sample consisted of a sub-sample of 100 contiguous housing units from the 400 housing unit apartment complex.
