how do you arrive at the percent of change???????
Census 1990 2000
# % # % % change
POPULATION
Total Population 60,641 100.0% 63,340 100.0% 4.5%
Black or Afr American 22,087 36.4% 26,432 41.7% 19.7%
Take the larger, subtract the smaller, divide by first years pop., the starting population
(63340-60641)/60641. Then mult by 100 to get percent. Percent means per 100
Do same to black pop.
Subtract the new population from the old. and the then divide by the old population. This will give you a decimal which must be converted to a percent.
