Abstract | Twenty graphs and charts provide a 1980 statistical profile of American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut populations for the United States. Data indicate the 1980 Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut population was 1,420,400, an increase of 592,132 since 1970; little population change by region occurred during the decade, with 49% still located in the West; states with largest American Indian populations are California, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, North Carolina, Washington, South Dakota, Michigan, Texas, and New York, respectively; and in 1980, 34,144 Eskimos and 8,090 Aleuts lived in Alaska, while 8,018 Eskimos and 6,115 Aleuts resided in other states. Other graphs show that 50% of the 1980 American Indian population had nonmetropolitan residences; median age of Indian females was 23.5 years as compared with 31.2 years for the total female population; 23% of Indian families were maintained by women compared with 14% for the total population; 56% of Indians over age 25 had graduated from high school in 1980, compared with 33% in 1970; Indian unemployment was 13%, compared with 6.5% nationally; median 1979 family income for Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts was $19,917; and 27.5% of Indians, 28.8% of Eskimos, and 19.5% of Aleuts lived in poverty as compared with 12.4% of the total population.
