North Lansing, Michigan: By Marcelo E. Siles Refugio I. Rochín August 1998
Lansing is one of the growth poles in Michigan with a growing minority population. Its Hispanics have registered more rapid growth than any other minority group. One area within Lansing, the North area, houses a relatively large proportion of Latinos; 16.7% as of the 1990 census. By comparison, the City of Lansing is 8% Latino overall. The Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) of Lansing, including three counties (Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham) has 3.5% Hispanics in the region. This report of the Julian Samora Research Institute examines the characteristics of Latinos living in North Lansing and compares their socio-economic condition with Hispanics living in the Lansing MSA. For purposes of comparison, we define the North Lansing area as bounded by the following: on the North by Grand River; on the East by Wood Road; on the South by Saginaw Highway; and on the West by ML King Boulevard. This boundary for North Lansing follows the spatial frame drawn by the Center for Urban Affairs at Michigan State University, used in their "social power" survey of November, 1993. Our data come from the U.S. Census Bureau, the 1990 Census of Population and Housing Tape File 3A for the following tracts: 0001, 0002, 0005.1, 0005.3, 0007, 0008, 0009.1, 0009.2, 0032, 0003.B64, and 0031.02.9. The terms Latino and Hispanic are interchangeable. These terms cover
persons who have identified themselves as such during the Census as persons
with Hispanic family traits or nationality (e.g. of Mexican, Puerto Rican,
etc. origin). Hardcopy Price: $0.00
