The population of Minneapolis

Minneapolis has a very diverse population with ancestors from five continents. In the1850s and1860s, the new immigrants from Minneapolis came from New England and new york, and in the mid1860s, the new immigrants came from Northern Europe, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Later, new immigrants came from Germany, Italy, Greece, Poland and Southeast Europe. Jews from Russia and Eastern Europe mainly lived in the north of the city at first, and moved to the western suburbs in large numbers in the 1950s and 1960s. Asians came from China, the Philippines, Japan and South Korea. The United States government temporarily placed two races:

/kloc-Japanese in the 1940s,/kloc-Indians in the 1950s. After 1970, Asians came from Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Since the11990s, a large number of Latin American population and African refugees (especially Somali refugees) have come to this city.

Before and after entering the 2 1 century, Minneapolis continued the tradition of welcoming new immigrants. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of foreign-born residents in this metropolitan area increased by 127%.

According to the 20 10 census, Minneapolis accounts for 63.8% of whites (including 60.3% of non-Hispanic whites), 65,438+08.6% of blacks, 5.6% of Asians, 2.0% of Indians and 65,438+00.5% of Hispanics (possibly of any previous race). Residents under 5 years old account for 6.9%, residents under 18 account for 20.2%, and residents over 65 account for 8.0%. 49.7% of the residents are women.

Compared with the national average in 2005, the proportion of whites, Hispanics, the elderly and the unemployed in Minneapolis is low, while the proportion of 18 years old and college graduates is high.

Compared with 2000, the statistics of this metropolitan area tend to be scattered, with a higher job-hopping ratio, more young people and whites, and a lower unemployment rate. Ethnic minorities lag behind whites in education. Only 15% of blacks and 13% of Hispanics have bachelor's degrees, while 42% of whites have bachelor's degrees. The living standard in Minneapolis is still improving, and the income level is the highest in the Midwest of the United States, but the median income of black families ($ 17000) is lower than that of white families. The proportion of black and Hispanic residents owning houses is only half that of whites, and one-third of the Asian population lives below the poverty line.
