SRR by Race/Ethnicity¶
Note
Self-Response Rates (SRR) DO NOT indicate the overall share of households or people counted in the census, but rather the share of housing units that filled out the form on their own.
City statistics such as population, race/ethnic demographic breakdown, and “hard-to-count” (HTC) characteristics are based on 2015-2019 ACS 5-year estimates and not the results of the 2020 Census.
See the Methodology section for information about how these numbers are calculated.
This section shows the race/ethnic demographic distribution and final 2020 self-response rates (SRR) in the city, compared to Orange County.
The listed SRR for race/ethnic groups refers to the calculated SRR for all census tracts where the group’s estimated share of the population is greater than or equal to the estimated share of the population for the total geography (e.g. the city or county). It does not demonstrate the SRR of the whole group.
CORRECT INTERPRETATION: The calculated self-response rate in Orange County census tracts where the estimated Asian (non-Hispanic) population made up at least 20.3% of the population was 77.1%.
INCORRECT INTERPRETATION: The Asian (non-Hispanic) population had a self-response rate of 77.1% in Orange County.
