II. Demographic Profile
This Demographic Profile provides an in-depth
analysis of the population in Cumberland Plateau
PDC. Most of the data is produced by the U.S.
Census Bureau, and includes demographic
characteristics such as age, race/ethnicity, and
gender.
Related Terms and DefinitionsOverview
Ability to speak English
For people who speak a language other than
English at home, the response represents the
person's own perception of his or her ability to
speak English. Because census questionnaires are
usually completed by one household member, the
responses may represent the perception of
another household member.
Age
The age classification is based on the age of the
person in complete years as of April 1, 2010. The
age of the person usually was derived from their
date of birth information. Their reported age was
used only when date of birth information was
unavailable.
Gender
The data on gender were derived from answers to
a question that was asked of all people.
Individuals were asked to mark either "male" or
"female" to indicate their gender. For most cases
in which gender was not reported, it was
determined by the appropriate entry from the
person's given (i.e., first) name and household
relationship. Otherwise, gender was imputed
according to the relationship to the householder
and the age of the person.
Race
The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau
reflects self-identification by people according to
the race or races with which they most closely
identify. The categories are sociopolitical
constructs and should not be interpreted as being
scientific or anthropological in nature.
Furthermore, the race categories include both
racial and national-origin groups.
Please note: In the past, our population by race/ethnicity
data has always excluded the Hispanic ethnicity from each
race category. Starting in January 2013, each race category
now includes all ethnicities.

III. Economic Profile
The Economic Profile of Cumberland Plateau PDC
consists primarily of data produced by the Virginia
Employment Commission, U.S. Census Bureau,
and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Related Terms and DefinitionsOverview
Average Weekly Wage
Computed as average quarterly wages divided by
13.
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
The Consumer Price Index measures the average
change over time in the prices paid by urban
consumers for a representative market basket of
consumer goods and services.
Local Employment Dynamics (LED)
The Local Employment Dynamics Program at the
Census Bureau, together with its state partners,
provides employment information at the county,
city, and Workforce Investment Area level. This
information tracks workers in different industries
by age and gender and provides statistics on job
creation, separation, turnover, and wages.
Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages
(QCEW)
A federal/state cooperative program that collects
and compiles employment and wage data for
workers covered by state unemployment
insurance (UI) laws and the federal civilian
workers covered by Unemployment Compensation
for Federal Employees (UCFE). These data are
maintained at the state in micro and macro levels
and also sent to BLS quarterly.
Unemployment Insurance (UI)
Unemployment insurance is a program for the
accumulation of funds paid by employers to be
used for the payment of unemployment insurance
to workers during periods of unemployment which
are beyond the workers' control. Unemployment
insurance replaces a part of the worker's wage
loss if he becomes eligible for payments.
Unemployment Rate
The number of unemployed people as a
percentage of the labor force.
