An experimental methodology for estimating Hispanic residents for states and counties
Article Abstract:
The Hispanic population of states and counties in the US can be estimated using an experimental technique that utilizes demographic information. Postcensal data on school enrollment, birth and death are used to compute for total population while age, sex and race distribution estimates are made using decennial censuses. Statistical computations involving the Hispanic population in Florida confirm the validity of this methodology.

Article Abstract:
Stable racial integration is measured in neighborhoods to help determine the extent of racial integration in the United States.
