Demographics

According to Wikipedia, an always reliable source, the following contains the demographics for the town in which I live.
Man, we're poor. And white. (And my friends wonder why I act like poor, white trash.)
With the entry of my family into the town I'm sure we've increased the Hispanic population by 1% or so - guess we'll find out with the next census.


"As of the census of 2000, there were 8,103 people, 2,399 households, and 1,221 families residing in the village. The population density was 1,448.4/km² (3,752.0/mi²). There were 2,589 housing units at an average density of 462.8/km² (1,198.8/mi²). The racial makeup of the village was 91.84% White, 4.41% African American, 0.27% Native American, 0.97% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 0.99% from other races, and 1.47% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.92% of the population.

There were 2,399 households out of which 25.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 36.2% were married couples living together, 11.6% had a female householder with no husband present, and 49.1% were non-families. 30.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 7.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
