Methodology highlights
Population was derived from American Community Survey 5-year 2022 estimates, table B01001 “Sex by Age," at the tract level. This table captured the entire population and was therefore sufficient for calculating population totals.
Race was derived from American Community Survey 5-year 2022 estimates, table DP05, “ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates," at the tract level. Given the diversity of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County, The Center for Community Solutions decided to report this data as individuals of a racial category that report themselves as either entirely of that racial category, or a part of that racial category. The Census refers to this as “alone or in combination.”
In Cleveland, 8.2%, and in Cuyahoga County, 5.7% of the population identify as two or more races, numbers that will continue to grow as more people continue to have children outside of their race. We believed it was more insightful to report all these races, instead of only the races of individuals who are that race “alone,” and some research has shown that the inclusion of a two or more races category without further explanation can mask racial disparities experienced by Black and Indigenous children. The difference in reporting can have meaningful impacts on the data.
For example, in the city of Cleveland, the population of Black alone residents is 46.6%, however when you report the population of residents that are Black alone or in combination, this number rises to 51.2%. It is also worth noting that because Hispanic or Latino/Latina is still considered an ethnicity for the 2022 Census data, racial categories include individuals who are and are not Hispanic or Latino/Latina.
