Abstract | These four Census Briefs highlight the information from the 2000 U.S. Census most relevant for community leaders, policymakers, advocates, and others concerned with the status of children and families in Rhode Island. The first brief describes home ownership rates, noting that homeowners are less likely to move than renters and become more involved in the schools. The second brief presents Rhode Island child poverty rates, with a table delineating child poverty rates by city/town and a graph illustrating the increase in child poverty rate between 1990 and 2000. The third brief delineates educational attainment levels for the adult Rhode Island population for each city/town and statewide, and discusses findings that educational levels have increased statewide during the 1990s. The forth brief discusses findings that throughout the 1990s, communities with the lowest median household incomes lost income while communities with relatively higher median household incomes gained income. Earnings were highly correlated with education levels. A table delineates the 1989 and 1999 median household income for Rhode Island cities/towns and statewide. (KB) |
