II. Demographic Profile
This Demographic Profile provides an in-depth
analysis of the population in Russell County. 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.
