HIST 408M: Race and the History of Jim Crow Segregation (Prof. Mills)

Census Data

The U.S. Census Bureau collects data on a wide variety of subjects, including age, income and poverty, education, employment, housing, health, households, and race and ethnicity. 

On the Census Data page, click on Filters (upper lefthand corner) and choose a geographical division to investigate. It is possible to find data for small divisions, the census block being the smallest. In most cases, a profile of the division can be viewed (look to the right). For further detail, click on the source link.

The following are links to the cities being studied in this class (note that there is no profile for Suitland, but data on Suitland will be available through other geographical divisions):

Capitol Heights

District Heights 

Hyattsville

Temple Hills
