NECC Demographic Data Summary of Census Data from 1980-2000 Faculty Advisor: Patrick Van Inwegen Authors: Stephen Eyman, Shane Fouts, Matthew Holloman, Aaron Korthuis, Barb Liggett, Morgan Yost Whitworth Political Science Department – Research Methods Class 5/21/2010
NECC Demographic Data Summary
Students from Political Science Research Methods class from Whitworth University worked with the Northeast Community Center (NECC) to collect demographic data for the area that the NECC serves. The stated goals for the NECC were to have data in a consistent format over time so that when the 2010 census data becomes available, they can easily integrate it into the existing data to see trends over time. The information is to be made available to any of the agencies that work in the NECC as well as any people visiting the NECC. It was beyond the scope of the expertise of the students to suggest any policy recommendations or implications of the changes, but rather, the focus of this report is to provide the data. The data are provided in a variety of formats so that they can be best used as needed.
All census data was collected from the website: Factfinder.census.gov. Information on the following general categories was collected:
Population, household income, housing characteristics, education, age, language spoken, racial background, house heating source, veteran status, and place of birth.
The categories where ones that the NECC indicated would be most helpful in determining emerging needs in the neighborhoods they serve. The census asks questions of every household in the United States every ten years. The questions are mostly about individuals, but some are aggregated to the household level (like income). The wording of those questions often changes each time the census is taken, as do the categories of responses, however, these variables have similar wording and response categories that should allow for meaningful comparisons of trends over time. From the website, we utilized the “Quick Tables” section to extract the data because it was the most readable, consistent in format, and provided all the relevant information by census tracts. The tracts included were: 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 25, 26, 111. The website only covered 1990 and 2000 censuses, so data from the 1980 Census was entered manually.
For each variable, there are three sheets: All Data, Summary, and Charts. All Data included information for all the census tracts, neighborhood totals, and grand totals. Under the Summary Sheet we included simply neighborhood totals and grand totals, and we eliminated sub-categories within the variables. We condensed the Census Tracts into neighborhood totals, with the following neighborhoods comprised of the following Census Tracts:
Hillyard includes tracts: 1, 2, 3, 15, 16, 17, 18 Nevada Lidgerwood includes tracts: 4, 14, 111 Logan includes tract 25 Chief Gary Park includes tract 26
The summary worksheets are included at the end of this document for quick reference as well as in the Excel workbook that contains all of the data. Charts is a visual summary of interesting information that may be useful for presentations (some are included in this brief summary). Below are some very general observations from each area.
Population Growth
The neighborhoods served by the NECC have grown over the past two decades, but most of that growth occurred in the 1990s. The table below shows the number of residents in each neighborhood as well as the number who were not born US citizens. The increase in population in the 1990s has been almost exclusively by foreign-born people (though the information for 1990 was missing for Logan and Chief Garry Park neighborhoods).
Income
The table below shows the income distribution for each year, though the categories for each year change (which is why there is just a category number along the bottom line). Also, the category values change, reflecting inflation. Thus the general distribution of the lines is what is more relevant from this graphic. In 1980, over 50% of households in the Northeast Community made less than $15,000 a year. In 1990, 50% of households made less than $25,000 a year. In 2000, over 50% of household earnings in this same community were less than $30,000 a year. Also of note, the number of households who depend on earnings, Social Security or public assistance for their income has remained relatively stable over the past 20 years. About 75% of the households depend on earnings for their income, about 28% draw Social Security Income, and about 10% receive public assistance income. These categories are not exclusive, so there is some overlap, but the percentages have been relatively similar in all three censuses.

Population by Neighborhood
Housing Characteristics
There has been a gradual trend over the three censuses toward more rental units. In 1980, 53% of housing units were owner occupied. This declined to 50% in 1990 and by 2000, both owner occupied and renter occupied were at 46% of the housing units in the neighborhoods served by the NECC (the other 8% were vacant in 2000). The number of vacant units grew from 6% in the 1980 and 1990 censuses to 8% in the 2000 census. The total housing units has increased from 21,714 units in 1980 to 24,901 units in 2000. The number of people per unit has also gone up over time, with most of the growth in the 1980s, from 1.99 per unit to 2.30. This translates into an extra person for every three units.
Education
The data for each census are given, but because of differences in how the data is categorized, we opted to not include any changes over time in summary form. Those would need to be looked at more carefully and would have caveats that would be required when presenting the information. The raw numbers of people in the neighborhoods served by the NECC are included by category below for the 2000 census.

Age
There are potential problems when comparing the data across time, as the age data for 1980 does not match the total population data for 1980 reported in the earlier section (and that data came from a printout from the NECC). However, if we look at it compared to the other two census reports, we find that the age distribution looks fairly similar, with an age distribution that follows a normal curve. The young, working-age population (20-30) makes up the largest categories. Between the 1990 and 2000 census, there seems to be a clear shift in ages toward more older people, though there is a decline in the number of people aged 55-75.

Language Spoken
In regards to language, it is clear that the Northeast neighborhood of Spokane had a growing Spanish-speaking population during the 1990's. In 1990, only 563 households spoke Spanish, a decade later this number had nearly doubled to 1063 households. An even more drastic increase is seen in the Russian speaking population. 1990 saw only 28 Russian speaking households, while 2000 saw a startling 812. Finally, the Vietnamese population of the neighborhood also seems to be experiencing substantial growth.
Race
When exploring the theme of race, the percentages in 2000 were 87.5% white, 2.4% black, 2.5% American Indian, 3.0% Asian/Islander, 3.5% Hispanic, and 1.1% other race. Aside from American Indian, all of the groups rose in number between 1990 and 2000, and the non-white groups rose in roughly the same percentages across the categories.
Migration
In terms of the migration variable, the general trends appear to stay relatively stable throughout the three censuses. In 1980 and 1990, approximately 4.5% of the population in the NECC neighborhoods was born outside of the United States, and in 2000 about 6.5% of the population was foreign-born. Thus, there has been a slight increase in migration to the NECC neighborhoods.
