• Dimensions
  • Household Level Dimensions (these help us better understand the households):
    • The number of "American Indians" living in each household (based on the "Ancstry1" data item). Potential values are '0' and '1+'. We named the dimension "AmInd".
    • The number of "Asian Indians" living in each household (based on the "Ancstry1" data item). Potential values are '0' and '1+'. We named the dimension "AsInd".
    • The number of people in each household who speak one of the top 10 Asian Indian languages (based on the "Lang2" data item). The top 10 Asian Indian languages were determined by another analysis, where we did a crosstab of place of birth (Pob) vs. Language (Lang2). The top 10 languages for people born in India were chosen. Potential values for this third dimension are '0' and '1+'. We named the dimension "AsIndLang".
  • Person Level Dimensions (these help us better understand the people in the households):
    • Race (interestingly, many people with "American Indian" ancestry turned out to be listed with an "Asian Indian" race)
    • Relat1 - This is the person's relationship to the householder. We wondered if many households felt that the adults born in India were "Asian Indians", and the children born in the USA were "American Indians".
    • Ancstry1 - This is the data item which is often erroneous.
• Volumes (numbers that are sliced-and-diced)
  • Household Level Volumes
    • Houswgt (Weighted Household Count, the primary field of interest at this level)
    • Houswgt*Rhhinc (Weighted Household Income)
  • Person Level Volumes
    • Pwgt1 (Weighted Person Count, the primary field of interest at this level)
    • People (Unweighted Person Count, for extra information)
    • PHouseholds (Weighted Household Count at the person level, indicates the number of households occupied by the persons on any particular data line)

One of the most interesting findings is in line 6, where there are about 38,000 households nationwide that claim to have American Indian occupants, no Asian Indian occupants, and yet the occupants speak the Asian Indian languages. There are also about 13,000 households that claim to have both Asian and American Indian occupants, and people who speak the Asian Indian languages.

At the person level, take note of lines 2,408, 2,410, and 2,412. Between these three lines, there are over 87,000 people who are classified with an Asian Indian race but an American Indian ancestry.
