Definitions

This page discusses the citizenship status and place of birth of the residents of North Cambridge. In all cases, including citizenship status, the results are based solely on survey responses and were not further verified.

  • Citizen, US-Born: a person that was born in the United States, excluding Puerto Rico and other outlying areas
  • Citizen, Territory-Born: born in Puerto-Rico or a US outlying area
  • Citizen, Born Abroad: born abroad of American parents
  • Citizen, Naturalized: not a citizen at birth, but has become one since
  • Not Citizen: foreign born non-citizen, regardless of formal immigration status

These definition were taken directly from the US Census Bureau, and reflect respondents 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.
