Definitions

A sector describes the organizational category of a person’s employing organization. On this page, all employed persons are categorized as working in one of the following sectors (bolded terms are used in the charts and maps on this page):

  • Private for-profit wage and salary workers:
    • Private: Employee of private company workers
    • Self-Employed: Self-employed in own incorporated business workers
  • Non-Profit: Private not-for-profit wage and salary workers
  • Local Government: Local government workers
  • State Government: State government workers
  • Federal Government: Federal government workers
  • Sole Proprietor: Self-employed in own not incorporated business workers
  • Unpaid Family: Unpaid family workers

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.
