Census Demographic Information


Each census report contains the primary census data that the FFIEC uses to create the CRA aggregate and disclosure reports as well as some additional commonly requested census fields used by the public in data analysis. The reports' demographic information, including income, population, and housing data is being obtained from four files: the 1990 Census data; 2000 Census data; the annual MSA boundary definitions from OMB; and the annual United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Median Family Incomes.

Summary Data

1) Tract/BNA Income Level - This corresponds to tract classifications as defined by the HMDA and CRA regulations. The incomes used for these calculations are the Median Family Incomes from the 1990 Census.

If the Median Family Income % is < 50% then the Income Level is Low.

If the Median Family Income % is >= 50% and < 80% then the Income Level is Moderate.

If the Median Family Income % is >= 80% and < 120% then the Income Level is Middle.

If the Median Family Income % is >=120% then the Income Level is Upper.

If the Median Family Income % is 0% then the Income Level is Not Known.

2) Minority Population - This is the Census Tract/BNA’s population of Black, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian or Other non-white people based on the 1990 Census.

3) Tract/BNA Population - This is the Census Tract/BNA’s population based on the 1990 Census.

4) 2000 Est. Tract/BNA Median Family Income - This is the Census Tract/BNA’s estimated Median Family Income (MFI) for each year, based on the HUD estimate for the MSA or non-MSA area where the Tract/BNA is located.

5) Tract/BNA Median Family Income % - This compares the Tract/BNA’s Median Family Income (MFI) level to the MSA’s MFI. It is calculated by dividing the 1990 Tract/BNA MFI by the 1990 MSA MFI. (For Tract/BNAs located outside of an MSA, the MFI used in the denominator is the Statewide non-MSA MFI. This figure is calculated using incomes from all areas of a state that are not assigned to MSAs). Go to Tract/BNA Income Level to see how the tract/BNAs are grouped based on their Median Family Income %.

7) Tract/BNA Minority % - This is the percentage of the tract/BNA’s population that is Black, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian or Other according to the 1990 Census. It is calculated by dividing the Minority Population by the Tract/BNA Population.
