*Methods Note

Census data is not normally available at the neighborhood level.  To create this table, Census data was split using GIS to provide estimates of neighborhood populations and demographics.  Please note that since the data on this page is an estimate and involves rounding some sub-categories may not add up to exactly 100% or to the estimated total.
