South Florida Demographics Part IIHow South Florida Compares To Its Metro Peers On Census 2000 Socio-Economic Status Indicators
Presented By: Dr. John P. McHenry President, Demographic Data For Decision-Making, Inc. 305-591-1224 demographicdata@bellsouth.net At theUrban Land Institute’s 2nd Annual State of the Region Economic Symposium, Broward County Convention Center: Thursday, November 7, 2002
History • In 1940’s, no countrywide statistical standard for “metropolitan” areas • Variety of definitions used • Bureau of Budget developed “standard metropolitan area” definition in time for 1950 U.S. Census
General Metro Concept • “An area containing a recognized population nucleus and adjacent communities that have a high degree of integration with that nucleus.” • Source: Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 249/Wednesday, December 27, 2000/ Notes
Purpose of Metro Definition (According to Office of Management and Budget) • Provide nationally consistent definitions for collecting, tabulating, and publishing federal data • Definitions based on “applying published standards to Census data” • OK as info in debate on public policies or used for statistical comparisons
Improper Use of Metro Definition(According to OMB) • Implement non-statistical programs • Determine program eligibility
Other Considerations • General OMB concerns: • Definitions do not necessarily equate to urban/rural classification • Non-metro areas not all rural; • Metro areas not all urban • County-level definitions (Metro area components are counties) mask local variability and are too blunt a definitional instrument
Changes in Metro Terminology • 1949 = Standard Metropolitan Area (SMA) • 1959 = Standard Metropolitan Statistical area (SMSA) • 1983 = Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) • 1990 = Metropolitan Area (MA), including, in order of increasing size by 1999: • MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area), N=261 • PMSA (Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area), N=76 • CMSA (Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area), N=19 • 2003 (proposed) • MSA = Metropolitan Statistical Area (again) • CSA = Combined Statistical Area
South Florida MA’s • The Miami-Fort Lauderdale CMSA has the 12th largest population (3,876,380). • Comprised of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties • The West Palm Beach-Boca Raton MSA has the 45th largest population at 1,131,184 • Comprised solely of Palm Beach County
And, In Terms of Inter-Censal Population Growth (1990-2000) • Miami-Fort Lauderdale ranks 11th nationally in absolute population increase (+683,798) and 15th in percentage population increase (21.4%), while • West Palm Beach ranks 45th nationally in absolute population increase (+267,666) and 7th in percentage increase (31.0%)
Why Not A Combination of Miami-Fort Lauderdale & West Palm Beach-Boca:South Florida
2002-2003 OMB MSA/CSA Recommendations • The above proposed MSA/urbanized areas are a done deal. • The proposed CSA’s are “potential CSA’s.” • They are based on intermediate level C2000 commuting data. • They must be approved by Florida’s national Congressional Delegation which, in turn, is free to seek local opinion. • Our Congressional Delegation also has some naming rights (but the first name must be the name of the largest city in the proposed CSA). • Miami delegation has until the end of November, 2002 to send in its recommendations • There are multiple South Florida CSA possibilities, ranging from 3 to 5 to 6 or even a 7 county South Florida CSA.
As A Combined MSA, South Florida Would Be …. • 10th nationally in population size at 5,007,564 • 6th nationally in inter-censal, absolute population growth at 951,464 • 14th nationally in inter-censal percentage population growth at 23.5% for a 2.11 annual, continuous growth rate • On our (revised) top 10 list of MSA’s by size, only one -- Dallas –Fort Worth-- is growing at a faster rate (29.3%)

Transportation Comparisons Commuting Hours Average Travel Time Mode Of Transportation
Percent Early Rising Commuters: 12: A.M. to 5:59 A.M. (V151a) • Very few South Floridians start their commutes this early – 7% in 2000 and 6% in 1990. • The Las Vegas metro area is an outlier here with relatively high percentages commuting to work in the mid-night hours.
Percent Prime-Time Commuters: 6:00 A.M. to 8:59 A.M. (V151b) • In 1990, 70.0% of South Floridian workers began their commute in prime time, but by 2000, the percentage has dropped to 67.3%. • Relatively few works in Las Vegas commute to work during prime time hours.
Average Travel Time To Work (V141) • New York is the outlier at 34.1 minutes. • South Florida2000 commuters were ranked 8th at 28.2 minutes. • In 1990, South Florida commuters only averaged 23.0 minutes – so the traffic situation is clearly getting worse.
Percent Take Car, Truck Or Van To Work, Alone (V136) • Here South Florida has slightly greater than average percentages of “lone commuters” in 2000 at 77.3%, up marginally from the 1990 percentage (76.1%) • However, South Florida rates are lower/better than all other Florida metros.
Percent Workers Who Carpool In Car, Truck, Or Van (V137) • Slightly more South Florida2000 workers carpool (13.1%) than the U.S. average (12.2%) • But the 2000 percent is down from the South Florida1990 figure of 14.1% so we’re going the “wrong way” here.
Percent Workers Take Public Transportation To Work (V138) • Relatively few South Floridians take public transportation to work (3.3% in 2000 down from 3.4% in 1990. • The New York metro is the obvious outlier here at 25%.
Education • Public Versus Private • Educational Levels
Percent Private School Attendees (V155) • South Florida private school percentages are slightly higher than average (20.0% in 2000, down from 20.5% in 1990). • Higher percentages are typically found for northeastern and/or heavily Catholic metros.
Percent Age 25+ With Less Than Complete High School Education (V160) • Unfortunately, South Florida2000 has the 2nd highest percentage (23.8%) of poorly educated (didn’t complete high school) persons. • We improved, somewhat, from South Florida1990 which had an even worse percentage -- 28.1%
Percent Age 25+ With Some College Or Higher Education (V162) • South Florida does not fair well at the upper end of the educational spectrum with the 5th lowest college plus percentage (50.8%). • Still, this is a marked improvement over the 1990 percentage (44.5%). • San Francisco is an outlier on this variable, with very high educational attainment.
Labor Force • Civilian Participation Rate • Unemployment Rate
Civilian Participation Rate (V171) • Defined as: (pop age 16+ employed – military pop + pop age 16+ unemployed and looking for work)/(pop age 16+ - military pop ) • Because of its aging population, South Florida has the one of the lower civilian participation rates at 58.7% in 2000, down from 62.1% in 1990. • Naples is a metro outlier with much lower civilian participation rates due, most likely to its large number of retirees.
Unemployment Rate (V172) • South Florida2000 has the 4th highest unemployment rate (6.7%), trailing Los Angeles (7.4%), New Orleans (6.8%) and virtually tied with New York. • South Florida1990 rate was moderately lower at 6.4%
Income/Poverty • Overall Residential Market • Average Household Income • Percent In Poverty
Aggregated Annual Household Income (V1) • South Florida household market = $110 Billion per year • South Florida ranked 10th – same as population ranking • Rank tends to follow population counts • The New York metro area market is an outlier.
Average Annual Income Per Household (V2) • South Florida ($57,936) is just above the U.S. average of $56,644. • Naples is just ahead of South Florida, all other Florida metros lag behind
Percent Below Poverty Level • South Florida2000’s poverty rate of 14.0% is the third highest metro rate and slightly higher than the 13.7% for 1990. • The New Orleans metro area is an outlier on this indicator.
Immigrants • Recent Levels • Percent Foreign Born • Percent Citizens • Language Issues
International Migration: 1995-2000 (V42) • South Florida2000 leads all metros with its international migration rate of 7.4%, up moderately from the 6.1% registered over the 1985-1990 interval. • Note – the base for these percentages is the total population (age 5+). An earlier slide used a “total migrant population” as the base.
Percent Foreign Born Population (V27) • South Florida2000 is #1 at 35%, followed by metros in major U.S. ports. • Our percentage is up considerably over South Florida1990 (29%). • Note that we have more than 3 times the U.S. average of 11%
Percent Of Foreign Born That Have Become Citizens (V28) • This is a decent proxy for assimilation. • South Florida2000, at 46%, is ranked 6th -- a very good score. None of the higher ranked metros are major immigrant destinations. • We have made a major improvement over the South Florida1990 score of 39%.
Language Capabilities • English Speakers Only • English Language Ability Of Those Whose Primary Language Is Not English
English Speaking Only (V49) • Only Los Angeles (53%) has lower percentages of “English only” speakers. • And South Florida’s percentage has dropped dramatically from 64% in 1990 to 55% in 2000.
Of Those Who, At Home, Speak A Language Other Than English – What Percent Speaks English “Not Very Well” Or “Not At All” (V51b) • Unfortunately, 27% of South Floridians who “speak a language other than English at home” respond that they speak English “not very well” or “not at all” so we have the fifth worst score on this measure. • This percentage is a slight improvement over the higher 29% figure of 1990. • Metros with higher percentages tend to be those with recent immigrant population waves from Mexico (Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston).
Population Mobility/Migration • Same house (non-mobility) • Different house/same county • Different house/different county/same state • Different house/different state
Percent Of Non-Movers in Population: 1995-2000 (V37) • Half of South Floridian’s remained in their same homes from 1995 to 2000. • This represents an increase in stability over the South Florida1990 figure of 45%. • The current U.S. average is 54%, so South Floridians are more mobile than the average U.S. citizens.
Intra-County Migration: 1995-2000 (V39) • South Florida2000 has a high rate of intra-county migration (29.5%), almost the same as its 1990 level of 30.1%, with a 4th place ranking – behind three western metros (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Houston). • This reinforces our notions of widespread movement within South Florida from established eastern housing units to newly developed housing units on the west sides of our counties.
Inter-County/Same State Migration: 1995-2000 (V40) • South Florida ranks very low on “inter-county/same state” migration (6% in 2000 up marginally from 5% in 1990. • Apparently very few Floridians step-migrate down to South Florida. • Las Vegas is an outlier with much less inter-county migration than any other region. • The Atlanta region is an outlier with much more inter-county migration migration than any other region.
Interstate Migration: 1995-2000 (V41) • South Floridians show “average” rates of interstate migration (8.5%) compared to U.S. average of 8.4% for the 1995-2000 interval. • The South Florida2000 rate has dropped considerably from the South Florida 1985-1990 rate of 14%, indicating a decline in our attractiveness to potential out-of-state migrants. • The metros ahead of us include Las Vegas, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Dallas, and all our Florida competitor metros. • Las Vegas is an outlier here, with much higher interstate migration than any other metro area.
