Rule 10-A1803 - DEMOGRAPHICS
1803.1

Table 18.1 shows basic demographic data for Far Southeast/Southwest. In 2000, the Planning Area had a population of 64,600 or 11 percent of the city total. The area has lost five to 10 percent of its population in each decennial census since 1960. Estimates for 2005 indicate a leveling off in this decline over the last five years. Average household size in the Planning Area was 2.74 in 2005, which was substantially higher than the citywide average of 2.12. The larger household size suggests that there are more children here than elsewhere in the city. In fact, 36 percent of the area's residents were under 18 in 2000, compared to 20 percent in the city as a whole. 1803.1

1803.2

Approximately 93 percent of the area's population is African-American, which is significantly higher than the citywide average of 60 percent. Only one percent of the area's residents are of Hispanic origin and less than two percent are foreign born. 1803.2
