Boston, MA - The UCLA Asian American Studies Center, as an official U.S. Census Information Center in partnership with the National Coalition for Asian Pacific Community Development, is pleased to assist the U.S. Census Bureau in announcing the release on February 15 of three informative reports on Asian Americans, Black Americans, and Hispanic Americans based on the 2004 American Community Survey. Each report can be downloaded.

The American Community: 2004 -- Feb. 15 -- These three reports present a portrait of racial and ethnic population groups in the United States based on data from the 2004 American Community Survey. Each report provides information on a number of characteristics (e.g., education, household type, income, commuting, etc.). Data are presented in tables, figures, and maps. In addition, the Asian and Hispanic reports present data for selected detailed groups (Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese for Asians; Guatemalans, Hondurans, Salvadorans, Colombians, Ecuadorians, and Peruvians for Hispanics). Two additional reports on the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population and the American Indian and Alaska Native population will be released later this year.
