Mini-Project #7


Go to the U.S. census website and record demographic data about your hometown ie, population figures today, yesterday and projected. ethnic composition; economic data, housing data , etc.

I chose the town of Dania to elaborate on seeing it is the city that i live in. The city has grown enormously over the past ten years. This is evident in the expansions of roadways, businesses, increase in housing and most of all the increase of the popultion due to the relocation of people from all over the world and from U.S. cities. There are more than two hundred cultures, but the culture that has impacted the county is the increase of the Latino population, and becasue of this the Spanish language has been dominant next to english. Economic development has quadrupled also. This city is the home of the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood international airport. Below is a link that will give a complete demographic report of the city.http://zipskinny.com/index.php?zip=33004

Hispanics account for almost 11% of the population. The average income is $33.000.
