Definitions

This page reports on the marital status of the residents of Downtown aged 15 and older. The following definitions are used in this page:

  • Never Married: a person over the age of 15 that has never been married
  • Married: married and not separated at the time of the survey, including cases where one spouse is absent for reasons other than a separation
  • Separated: including legal and de-facto separations for reasons of marital discord
  • Divorced: and not remarried at the time of the survey
  • Widowed: and not remarried at the time of the survey

These definition were taken directly from the US Census Bureau, and reflect the marital status at the time of the survey.

Unlike the other geographical entities detailed on this site, neighborhoods are not recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau. To overcome this we have computed reasonable estimates of the same statistics that are presented for other the entity types. Each statistic is computed as the weighted sum or average of the census tracts or block groups that overlap the neighborhood. A weighted sum is used for counts of people or households, and a weighted average is used for statistics that are themselves some form of average, such as median household income. Census block groups are preferred when the statistic in question is available on the block group level. The weight for a given tract (or block group) is computed as the population of the census tabulation blocks that occupy the intersection between the tract and the neighborhood as a fraction of the total population of the neighborhood.
