2011 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY 1-YEAR REPORT

The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau to provide communities with demographic, social, economic, and housing data every year. The ACS was fully implemented in 2005 and sampled approximately 2.9 million housing unit addresses in the United States annually. Beginning in June 2011 the sample size was increased to correspond to a 3.54 million annual level, resulting in a total sample size of 3.3 million housing unit addresses for the 2011 ACS. The ACS provides estimates each year that cover 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year periods. For each period, the U.S. Census Bureau produces two data files: the Summary File and the Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS). The Summary Files are a set of basic and detailed tables of predetermined cross-tabulations. The Public Use Microdata Sample is for advanced data users who need to create tabulations not available in the Summary File. The PUMS file contains a sample of survey returns with all personal identification removed. PUMS data are available for only regions, divisions, states and Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs), which are predefined geographic areas with a minimum population of 100,000. Estimates in this report are from the 2011 ACS 1-year PUMS file.

USER NOTES

The primary purpose of the American Community Survey is to describe the average characteristics of the U.S. population in a given area over a specific time period. The ACS does not provide the official estimates of the population and housing units used for state planning and budgeting in California. For these official estimates, the source is the California Department of Finance.

All estimates from the ACS are subject to sampling error. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented in this report through the use of a 90 percent margin of error. This can be roughly interpreted as providing the 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus and plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. The margins of error for medians were calculated using design factors (a type of generalized variance function) provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. All other margins of error were calculated using replicate weights in the PUMS file. Estimates with a relative margin of error of 33 percent or greater are denoted with bold italic type.

Race/ethnicity tables were constructed using mutually exclusive categories. The response to the Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin question took priority when determining race/ethnicity, resulting in Hispanic and non-Hispanic categories. The non-Hispanic categories are as follows:

• White, Not Hispanic

• Black, Not Hispanic

• Asian, Not Hispanic

• American Indian & Alaskan Native, Not Hispanic

• Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Not Hispanic

• Some Other Race, Not Hispanic

• Two or More Races, Not Hispanic

2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California iii

The Hispanic category includes persons of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin who may be of any race. For all tables in this report except for Table 1, racial-ethnic groups do not add up to the total population because only major race categories and Hispanic origin were examined.

Income and earnings were reported for the 12 months preceding the interview month. Monthly Consumer Price Indices (CPI) factors were used to inflation-adjust the dollars to the 2011 calendar year. For example, a householder interviewed in March 2011 would have reported their income for March 2010 through February 2011. To adjust their response to the 2011 calendar year, the reported income was multiplied by the 2011 average annual CPI (January 2011 - December 2011) and then divided by the average CPI for the reported income period (March 2010 - February 2011).

When comparing estimates from the ACS, the U.S. Census Bureau recommends comparing data from similar period lengths, e.g. 5-year to 5-year, and comparing estimates from non-overlapping periods, e.g. 2006-2008 ACS 3-year estimates to 2009-2011 ACS 3-year estimates. Because the strength of the ACS is in estimating distributions of characteristics, the U.S. Census Bureau also recommends that users compare derived measures such as percentages, means, medians, and rates rather than estimates of population totals. Differences in an estimate over time may be due to sampling error rather than actual change and should be statistically tested. Guidance on making data comparisons are provided in Appendix 4 of the ACS General Data Users Handbook available at:

http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/handbooks/ACSGeneralHandbook.pdf.

PUMS estimates are expected to be different from ACS estimates published by the U.S. Census Bureau. ACS published estimates are based on the full sample survey, while PUMS estimates are based on a subset of the full ACS records.

Section 1. General Demographics, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 1

SECTION 1. GENERAL DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS

In 2011, California had a total population of 37.7 million (Table 1-1). California was a majority-minority state where no racial or ethnic group constituted the majority of the population. Non-Hispanic Whites were the largest racial-ethnic group (39.6 percent), exceeding the number of Hispanics by 557,000 people, or the equivalent of 1.5 percent of California’s population (Figure 1-1). However, the latest projection series (January 2013) from the California Department of Finance indicated that the number of Hispanics will be even with the number of non-Hispanic Whites in mid-2013. Early in 2014, the Hispanic population will become the plurality in California for the first time since California became a state. About a quarter (24.6 percent) of California’s population in 2011 was under 18 years and 11.6 percent was 65 years and over (Table 1-2). The remaining 63.8 percent of the population was comprised of the traditional working age group of persons 18 to 64 years old. Hispanics accounted for more than half (51.7 percent) of the children under age 18 and non-Hispanic Whites, 26.9 percent. Among the working-age population, non-Hispanic Whites represented the largest group (40.5 percent), followed by Hispanics (36.5 percent). Non-Hispanic Whites were also the majority (61.3 percent) of the population 65 years and over and had the highest median age of all groups, 44.9 years (Figure 1-2). Hispanics had the lowest median age, 27.4 years. The median age for California was 35.4 years. California’s population consisted of 18.8 million (49.8 percent) males and 18.9 million (50.2 percent) females (Table 1-2). The male-female sex ratio was 99 males for every 100 females. Hispanics had the highest male-female ratio (102.4 males for every 100 females); non-Hispanic Asians had the lowest (90.2 males for every 100 females). In 2011, California had 12.5 million households (Table 1-5). The average household size was 2.96 persons. The most common household size was a two-person household (29.9 percent) and the least common was a household with six or more persons (6.5 percent). Hispanics had the greatest proportion of households consisting of six or more persons (14.9 percent), surpassing the proportion for non-Hispanic Asians (6.7 percent), non-Hispanic Blacks (4.1 percent), and non-Hispanic Whites (2.2 percent) (Figure 1-4). Persons 65 years and over usually lived in a two-person household (46.9 percent) (Table 1-6). However, subgoups within this range, across gender, revealed different patterns. A greater proportion of females 75 years and over lived in single-person households (38.9 percent) than in two-person households (34.5 percent). In contrast, 20.3 percent of males 75 years and over lived alone and 54.8 percent lived in a two-person household. One reason for the difference in the proportion of elderly females and males who were living alone is that females tend to outlive their husbands as they have a longer life expectancy; the number of females 75 years and over was almost one and half times larger than the number of males 75 years and over in 2011 (Table 1-2). Of all households, 55 percent were owner-occupied and 45 percent were renter-occupied (Table 1-7). More single-person households were renter-occupied (54.6 percent) than owner-occupied (45.4 percent), whereas households of all other sizes had a higher percentage of owner-occupancy than renter-occupancy. The average household size was 3.00 for owner-occupied households and 2.91 for renter-occupied households.

Section 1. General Demographics, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 2

Families represented 68.3 percent of the households in California (Table 1-8). Family households included married couple families (48.5 percent), male householder families with no spouse present (6 percent), and female householder families with no spouse present (13.8 percent). The remaining 31.7 percent of households were nonfamily households, of which 77.4 percent were single-person households. In 2011, nearly all of the 9.3 million children under 18 years in California lived in households (Table 1-2, Table 1-9). Of these children1, 62.5 percent lived with both parents, 33.1 percent lived with one parent, 2.7 percent lived with neither parent, and 1.7 percent was not related to the householder and had an unknown status2 (Figure 1-5). Over three-quarters of the children who lived with one parent were living with their mother. Approximately 8.4 percent of all children lived in grandparent-headed households (Tables 1-2, Table 1-10). For 40 percent of these children, a grandparent was the primary caregiver for the children. Among the children living with grandparent householders who were responsible for them, 73.8 percent had a least one parent present in the household and 26.2 percent did not have either parent living with them. In other words, about 229,000 children, or 2.5 percent of all children living in households, resided with at least one parent but had their basic needs provided by a grandparent householder.

1 Persons under 18 years who were householders, spouses of householders, or unmarried partners of

householders represented less than 5,000 people, and were not included in the data for children by presence of parents. 2 In the ACS, data on the presence of parent was collected only for persons related to the householder.

Section 2. Labor Force, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 11

SECTION 2. LABOR FORCE

In 2011, 18.7 million Californians were in the civilian labor force, or 63.7 percent of the civilian population age 16 and over (Table 2-1). The civilian labor force was comprised of 54 percent males and 46 percent females. Males were more likely to participate than females across all age groups, as the civilian labor force participation rate was 69.9 percent for men and 57.7 percent for women (Figure 2-1). Persons in the prime working age (25 to 54 years old) had the highest labor force participation rate, 80.4 percent (Table 2-1). The participation rate for persons 16 to 24 years old was significantly lower (52.5 percent), which is largely attributed to school enrollment. For persons 55 years and over, participation rates decreased as age increased and retirement became more likely. This group’s labor force participation rate dropped from 71.3 percent for those 55 to 59 years old to 5.6 percent for those 75 years and over. Among racial-ethnic groups, Hispanics had the highest civilian labor force participation rate (66.9 percent) followed by non-Hispanic Asians (63.6 percent), non-Hispanic Whites (62 percent), and non-Hispanic Blacks (58.2 percent) (Table 2-3). However, when comparing labor force participation rates, the age distribution is an important consideration. Non-Hispanic Whites had a larger proportion of persons ages 65 and over who were likely to have retired and dropped out of the labor force, lowering the overall non-Hispanic White participation rate. By examining only the traditional working ages of 18 to 64 years, the labor force participation rate increased for all racial-ethnic groups and relative rankings changed as well. Non-Hispanic Whites moved from having the third highest participation rate to having the highest (74.1 percent) and Hispanics fell to third rank (71.4 percent) behind non-Hispanic Asians (72.2 percent) (Table 2-4). Non-Hispanic Blacks continued to have the lowest participation rate (64.9 percent). As a whole, the participation rate was 72.1 percent. In 2011, the unemployment rate in California was 12.4 percent (Table 2-3, Figure 2-2). Non-Hispanic Asians had the lowest unemployment rate (9.7 percent), followed by non-Hispanic Whites (10.6 percent). Unemployment rates for Hispanics and non-Hispanic Blacks were significantly higher at 14.2 percent and 19.3 percent respectively. The top major industry group in terms of employment was education and health services, which accounted for 21.1 percent of jobs in California (Table 2-5). Below education and health services were professional and business services (12.6 percent), retail trade (11.2 percent), and manufacturing (10 percent). Full-time year-round workers in the information industry had the highest median earnings ($66,185), followed by public administration ($64,149), and mining ($61,094) (Table 2-6). Those working in agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting had the lowest median earnings ($25,456). Across occupations, management, business, and financial services represented the largest share of jobs (14.9 percent) (Table 2-7). Office and administrative support accounted for the second largest share (13.2 percent), followed by sales and related occupations (11.1 percent). Other occupations each represented less than 7 percent of jobs in California. Median earnings for full-time year-round workers were highest for computer, engineering, and science occupations ($83,495), healthcare practitioners and technicians ($76,368), and management, business, and financial services ($71,277) (Table 2-8). Median earnings were lowest for the food preparation and service occupations ($21,179).

Section 2. Labor Force, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 12

About three-quarters of California families (74.3 percent) included one or two workers (Table 2-9). About 14 percent of families did not have any workers and 12 percent had three or more workers. Median family income increased with the number of workers, ranging from $28,103 for families with no workers to $97,751 for families with three or more workers. The state median family income was $65,676. The primary means of transportation to work for workers 16 years and over was a car, truck, or van (84.3 percent) (Table 2-10). Approximately 73 percent of workers drove to work alone and 11 percent carpooled. Public transportation excluding taxicabs was the next most common means of transportation (5.2 percent). Persons who worked at home accounted for 5.4 percent of all workers. Among those commuting to work, the trip took them an average of 27 minutes (Table 2-11).

Section 3. Income, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 19

SECTION 3. INCOME

In 2011, California’s median family income was $65,676 (Table 3-1). Median family income was above the state median for non-Hispanic Whites ($84,921) and non-Hispanic Asians ($81,459), and below for non-Hispanic Blacks ($49,588) and Hispanics ($44,701). By family size, families of four persons had the highest median family income ($74,331); two-person and six-person families had the lowest ($61,603) (Table 3-2). The state median household income was $57,021 (Table 3-1, Figure 3-1). Median household income was highest for households consisting of four persons ($75,757) and households headed by persons ages 45 to 54 ($71,277) (Table 3-3, Table 3-4). Wage or salary income was the most common type, representing a source of income for about three-quarters of households (75.6 percent) (Table 3-5). Median personal income for persons 15 years and over was $25,456 (Table 3-6). Females had a significantly lower median personal income ($20,772) than males ($30,547). Forty-one percent of females were in the bottom three income brackets (no income, loss of income, and $1 to $9,999); only 28.7 percent of males were in these brackets (Figure 3-2). On the high end of the income range, $100,000 or more, the proportion of males (10.5 percent) was more than double the proportion of females (4.3 percent). For persons 65 years and over with income, median personal income was $19,856 (Table 3-7). Median personal income for males ($28,511) was greater than that of females ($15,274). The most common sources of income were: Social Security, received by 84.6 percent of persons age 65 and over with income; retirement, survivor, or disability income, 35.3 percent; interest, dividends, or net rental income, 28 percent; and wage or salary, 15.6 percent.

Section 4. Poverty, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 25

SECTION 4. POVERTY

California’s poverty rate in 2011 was 16.6 percent (Table 4-1). Among racial-ethnic groups, non-Hispanic Whites and non-Hispanic Asians had the lowest percentages of persons living below poverty, at 10.1 percent and 12.5 percent respectively. Poverty rates for non-Hispanic Blacks (25 percent) and Hispanics (23.6 percent) were significantly higher. Over half of the Hispanic population (54 percent) and 45.8 percent of non-Hispanic Blacks were living below poverty, or near poverty (between 100 and 199 percent of poverty) (Figure 4-1). In contrast, less than one-quarter of non-Hispanic Whites (23.5 percent) had incomes below 200 percent of the poverty level. Poverty rates varied by age and family type as well (Figure 4-2). The youngest age group experienced the highest poverty rate and the oldest age group had the lowest; 22.9 percent of children under 18 years were living in poverty compared to only 10 percent of persons 65 years and over (Table 4-2). By family type, families headed by females with no husband present had the highest poverty rate (27.6 percent) (Table 4-3). Female-headed families, however, represented only one-fifth (20.2 percent) of families in California. The majority of families were married-couple families (71.1 percent), of which 7.6 percent were living below poverty. Male-headed families with no wife present accounted for 8.8 percent of families and had a poverty rate of 17.1 percent. Across all family types, families with no related children had lower poverty rates than those living with related children. Only 5.5 percent of families with no related children were living below poverty compared to 18.6 percent of families with related children. Related children who lived with both parents had a poverty rate of 14 percent and were less likely to live in poverty than those who lived with their mother only (41.7 percent), father only (28.8 percent), or neither parent (26.4 percent) (Table 4-4).

Section 5. Educational Attainment, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 29

SECTION 5. EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT

In 2011, approximately 81 percent of California’s 24.5 million residents age 25 and over were high school graduates or higher (Table 5-2). Over 30 percent had a Bachelor’s degree or higher and 11.1 percent had a Master’s degree or higher. Non-Hispanic Whites had the largest percentage of persons who were high school graduates or higher (93.9 percent); Hispanics had the lowest percentage (58.5 percent) (Figure 5-1). The median level of educational attainment was highest for non-Hispanic Asians (Associate’s degree), and lowest for Hispanics (high school graduate). The median level of educational attainment for California was one or more years of college, but no degree. Differences in educational attainment by nativity existed as well. Native residents had higher levels of educational attainment than the foreign born population (Table 5-3). Most natives (91.5 percent) had at least a high school diploma and 33.2 percent had a Bachelor’s degree or higher. For the foreign born, these percentages were 63.2 percent and 25.4 percent, respectively. About three-quarters of the foreign born who were naturalized citizens had a high school diploma or higher compared to slightly over half of noncitizens. The proportion of naturalized citizens who had a Bachelor’s degree (33.3 percent) was essentially the same as the proportion of native residents, whereas only 17.4 percent of noncitizens had a Bachelor’s degree. Educational attainment is highly correlated with earnings (Figure 5-2). In 2011, median earnings for full-time, year-round workers age 25 and over were lowest for the group without a high school diploma ($24,438) and increased with each additional level of educational attainment (Table 5-6). However, there was an earnings premium for attaining an advanced degree. The difference in median earnings between each of the three least educated groups was about $11,000, but increased to almost $20,000 with the completion of a Bachelor’s degree. Moreover, this difference increased to $26,000 between having a Bachelor’s Degree ($66,185) and having a Master’s degree or higher ($92,660). In addition, the earnings premium for attaining a Master’s degree or higher varied by race and ethnicity. This premium was substantially higher for non-Hispanic Asians ($41,000), exceeding the next highest premium for non-Hispanic Whites by $18,000. Across all levels of educational attainment except for a Master’s degree or higher, median earnings were highest for non-Hispanic Whites (Table 5-7). Non-Hispanic Asians had the highest median earnings ($101,824) among those with a Master’s degree or higher. At levels of educational attainment below a Bachelor’s degree, non-Hispanic Asians and Hispanics had the lowest median earnings. Hispanics also had the lowest median earnings among the most educated groups (Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree or higher).

Section 6. Health Insurance, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 35

SECTION 6. HEALTH INSURANCE

Among the civilian noninstitutionalized population in California, 82 percent had health insurance coverage and 18 percent did not have health insurance coverage (Table 6-1). The traditional working age group (18 to 64 years old) represented 87.9 percent of the total uninsured population. The youngest and oldest age groups (children under 18 years and persons 65 years and over) had the lowest rates of uninsured persons at 8 percent and 1.7 percent respectively. Government programs that provide medical and health-related services for specific populations, e.g. Medicaid (called “Medi-Cal” in California) and Medicare, were contributing factors for the relatively low percentages of uninsured persons in these age groups. Approximately 52 percent of persons covered by Medicaid were under 19 years old (Table 6-4) and 86 percent of persons covered by Medicare were 65 years and older (Table 6-5). Hispanics had the highest percentage of uninsured persons (27.8 percent) compared to the other major racial-ethnic groups with uninsured rates of less than 15 percent (Figure 6-1). The non-Hispanic White population had the lowest percentage of uninsured at 10.7 percent. Higher rates of health insurance coverage were associated with higher levels of educational attainment. For the population 25 years and over, there was a 32.9 percent disparity in the uninsured rates between persons with a Master’s degree or higher (5.1 percent) and persons with less than a high school degree (38 percent) (Figure 6-1). U.S. citizens were more likely to have health insurance coverage than non-citizens. Only 13.4 percent of U.S. citizens were uninsured compared to 45.8 percent of non-citizens (Figure 6-1). Of the civilian noninstitutionalized population that had health insurance coverage, 59 percent had a private health plan, 19.7 percent had Medicaid, and 12.7 percent had Medicare (Table 6-2, Figure 6-2).

Section 7. Geographic Mobility, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 40

SECTION 7. GEOGRAPHIC MOBILITY

In 2011, 16.1 percent of Californians 1 year old and over were living in a different residence one year earlier (Table 7-2). The vast majority of the moves (87.7 percent) were within the state, i.e. persons who moved within the same county or moved to a different county in California (Table 7-1). About 8 percent of movers came to California from a different state and 5 percent came from abroad.

As a group, movers were younger than nonmovers. The median age was 28.1 years for movers and 38.2 years for nonmovers (Figure 7-1). Excluding children 1 to 17 years old whose mobility is generally dependent on their families’ decision to move, the propensity to move declined with age. Mobility rates were highest (over 26 percent) for young adults or persons who were between 18 and 34 years old – ages during which one is likely to undergo pivotal life events such as attending college, seeking or changing employment, starting a family, and establishing a household (Table 7-2). For each subsequent age group, mobility rates decreased, falling below 7 percent for persons 65 years and over.

With a mobility rate of almost 20 percent, non-Hispanic Blacks were the racial-ethnic group most likely to have moved. Hispanics were the next most mobile group (16.2 percent). Natives were also more likely to move (16.6 percent) than the foreign born (14.9 percent). For persons 15 years and over, those who were separated were the most mobile (23.9 percent), followed by those who were never married (21.1 percent) and those who were divorced (17.1 percent). Married persons (11.8 percent) and widows (9.6 percent) were significantly less likely to move.

In comparison to the large differences in mobility rates by marital status, differences by educational attainment were small (a maximum difference of 1.4 percent). Persons with the lowest level of educational attainment (not a high school graduate) and the highest level of educational attainment (Master’s Degree or higher) had the lowest mobility rates at 13.8 percent and 13.6 percent respectively. The mobility rate peaked at 15 percent for persons with a Bachelor’s Degree. Unemployment impacted mobility as well. Persons age 16 and over who were unemployed were more likely to move (19.8 percent) than those who were employed (16 percent).

During 2011, California experienced a net domestic outflow or loss of 102,000 people (Table 7-3). Within every household income group except $75,000 to $124,999, more people left California for other states than came to California. However, net outflow was largest in the lowest household income groups (Figure 7-2). Persons with household incomes less than $75,000 comprised 69 percent of movers who left California for other states and 58.8 percent of movers who came to California, resulting in a net loss of 117,000 people in this income group. Persons who left California were also more likely to be living in poverty than those who came to California. The poverty rate for domestic out-migrants was 22.6 percent compared to 18.7 percent for in-migrants (Table 7-3). California had a net outflow of residents for every major racial-ethnic group except for a small net inflow of 677 non-Hispanic Asians. Non-Hispanic Whites represented the largest share of domestic movers both to and from California (interstate migrants), at 58.4 percent and 56.5 percent respectively, followed by Hispanics at 18.5 percent of in-migrants and 21.4 percent of out-migrants.

Section 7. Geographic Mobility, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 41

Interstate migrants who came to California tended to have higher levels of educational attainment than those who left. Persons with a Bachelor’s degree or higher represented a larger share of domestic in-migrants (47.7 percent) than of out-migrants (40.6 percent). One likely attraction for these college-educated individuals is California’s high demand for skilled labor, particularly in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. Movers coming to California were primarily from states in the West and South regions (70.7 percent); similarly, most movers from California went to states in the same regions (74.8 percent) (Table 7-4). California had a net outflow of 57,000 people to the West region, and 38,000 people to the South.

SECTION 8. FOREIGN BORN

California is a gateway state for immigrants coming to the United States. In 2011, the foreign-born population accounted for 10.2 million people in California out of a total population of 37.7 million (Table 8-1). The share of foreign-born residents in Californian’s population (27.1 percent) was more than double the share of the United States population (13 percent3). California’s foreign born had a notably different age distribution than the distribution for native residents (Figure 8-1). The foreign born were concentrated in working age groups, with persons ages 40 to 49 years comprising the largest group (21.8 percent). For native residents, the two youngest age groups represented the largest population shares; children under 10 years old constituted 17.8 percent and persons 10 to 19 years old, 17.5 percent. Persons under 20 years old represented 35.3 percent of natives and only 6.5 percent of the foreign-born population. Among racial-ethnic groups, Hispanics made up the greatest share of the foreign born (52.3 percent), followed by non-Hispanic Asians (31.3 percent) (Table 8-2). Half of the foreign born (50.2 percent) were born in Central America and 36.8 percent were born in Asia (Table 8-3, Figure 8-2). Mexico was the top country of birth (41.7 percent) and exceeded the next leading country, the Philippines (8 percent), by over 3.4 million people (Table 8-4). Following the Philippines were China (5 percent) and Vietnam (4.8 percent); these three countries combined accounted for 48.3 percent of the foreign born from Asia. The majority of California’s foreign born (78.3 percent) arrived in the United States since 1980 and 29 percent arrived since 2000 (Table 8-5). Of those who entered the U.S. in 2000 or later, 60 percent arrived from 2000 to 2005, and 40 percent from 2006 to 2011. The noticeable decrease in the number of foreign-born arrivals between the two periods, from 1.8 million in 2000 to 2005, to 1.2 million in 2006 to 2011, exhibits the effects of the employment decline during the Great Recession that began in December 2007. The impact was especially prominent for the foreign born from Mexico, with a 59 percent decrease from 2000 to 2005 (792,000 people) and 2006 to 2011 (324,000 people) (Table 8-6).

3 Of the 311,591,919 people who resided in the United States in 2011, 40,377,860 were foreign born.

Section 9. Language, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 51

SECTION 9. LANGUAGE

Due to a large inflow of immigrants to California, the state is one of the most language-diverse in the nation. In 2011, 43.8 percent (15.4 million) of Californians ages 5 and over spoke a language other than English at home, and 10.9 percent (3.8 million) reported speaking English less than “well” (Table 9-1). Persons 65 years and over had the smallest share of persons who spoke a language other than English at home, 34.5 percent; all other age groups had shares over 44 percent. Among persons who spoke English less than “well,” persons 65 years and over had the largest share (16 percent) and 25 to 64 years olds had the next largest (13.8 percent). The two youngest age groups, 5 to 17 years and 18 to 24 years, had markedly lower shares, at 2.4 percent and 4.5 percent respectively. The majority of the population ages 5 and over who spoke a language other than English at home spoke Spanish (65.7 percent) (Table 9-2). The next most commonly spoken language was Tagalog (5 percent), followed by Chinese (3.8 percent), Vietnamese (3.4 percent), and Korean (2.4 percent). Among these top five languages, those who spoke Tagalog had the lowest share speaking English less than “well” (7.8 percent). The proportion who reported speaking English less than “well” was 27.2 percent for those who spoke Spanish and over 32 percent for the other three language groups. Persons who spoke a language other than English at home were more likely to be living in poverty (20.6 percent) than those who spoke English only (12.4 percent) (Table 9-3). The largest disproportion was for those ages 5 to 17 years and 65 years and over as individuals in these age groups were two times more likely to be in poverty if they spoke a language other than English at home. Educational attainment levels were lower for persons who spoke a language other than English at home (Table 9-4, Figure 9-1). About 35 percent of this group did not graduate from high school, compared to 7.3 percent of those who spoke English only. The percent not graduating from high school was even higher for persons who spoke English less than “well,” at 66.6 percent. Regarding higher levels of education, the share of those with a Bachelor’s degree or higher was 6.3 percent of those who spoke English less than “well”; 23.8 percent of those who spoke a language other than English at home; and 35.2 percent of those who spoke English only.

Section 10. Disability, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 54

SECTION 10. DISABILITY

In 2011, one in ten Californians reported a disability, excluding those in armed forces and those who were institutionalized (Table 10-1). The likelihood of having a disability increased with age, ranging from 0.8 percent for persons under 5 years old to 52.1 percent for persons 75 years and over. The elderly, or persons 65 years and over, represented the largest age group with a disability (42.2 percent), followed by persons 35 to 64 years old (39.8 percent). Ambulatory and independent living difficulties were the most commonly reported types of disabilities; 5.3 percent of the civilian noninstitutionalized population reported having “serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs” (ambulatory) and 4.1 percent reported having “difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor’s office or shopping” (independent living) (Table 10-2, Figure 10-1). The likelihood of having a disability also differed by race and ethnicity. Non-Hispanic Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites had the highest proportion who reported a disability, at 15 percent and 12.9 percent respectively (Table 10-3). However, only 7.4 percent of non-Hispanic Asians and 7.5 percent of Hispanics reported having a disability.

Section 11. Veterans, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 57

SECTION 11. VETERANS

In 2011, 1.9 million Californians were veterans, representing 6.8 percent of the civilian population 18 years and over (Table 11-1). The majority of these veterans were male (93.1 percent) and were over 34 years old (90.8 percent). The likelihood of having previously served in active duty military service increased with age, increasing from 1.9 percent for those 18 to 34 years old to 23 percent for those 75 years and over. Among civilians, non-Hispanic Whites and non-Hispanic Blacks were more likely to be veterans (over 10 percent) than other racial-ethnic groups (Table 11-2). Only 2.5 percent of non-Hispanic Asians and 2.9 percent of Hispanics were veterans. Regarding the racial composition among veterans in California, the largest group was non-Hispanic Whites (68.6 percent), followed by Hispanics (14.3 percent), non-Hispanic Blacks (9 percent), and non-Hispanic Asians (5.1 percent). Over a third of veterans residing in California in 2011 had served during the Vietnam era (34.7 percent) and a quarter had served during periods between wars or conflicts (peacetime) (Table 11-3). Less than 15 percent of veterans served during each of the other periods: 14.7 percent served during the 1st Gulf War (August 1990 to August 2001); 12.1 percent, Korean War; 11.6 percent, 2nd Gulf War (September 2001 or later); 9.5 percent World War II; and 0.2 percent, pre-World War II. California veterans had a lower poverty rate (7.1 percent) than the state’s overall rate of 16.6 percent (Table 4-1, Table 11-4). The highest poverty rates were experienced by veterans who served during the 2nd Gulf War (September 2001 or later) (9 percent) and by those who served between wars or conflicts (8.3 percent); the lowest were for those who served pre-World War II (3.5 percent) and during the Korean War (4.5 percent).

Section 12. Fertility, 2011 American Community Survey 1-Year Report: California 59

SECTION 12. FERTILITY

In 2011, 519,000 women in California between the ages of 15 and 49 years had a birth in the past 12 months4 (Table 12-1). More than half of these women were ages 25 to 34 years; 26.4 percent were 30 to 34 years old and 24 percent were 25 to 29 years old. Women ages 20 to 24 years comprised the next largest share of those with births (19.2 percent), followed by women ages 35 to 39 years (16 percent). The fertility rate, which is the number of live births per 1,000 women, increased with age from 22 for women 15 to 19 years old to 106 for women 30 to 34 years old. The fertility rate declined after age 34, dropping to 8 for women 45 to 49 years old. Based on these age-specific fertility rates, a woman in California would have on average 1.96 children by the time she lived through the typical childbearing years (ages 15 to 49 years). Of the women who had a birth in the past 12 months, those 15 to 19 years old were more likely to be unmarried than any other age group (87.1 percent) and those 35 to 39 years old were least likely to be unmarried (17.4 percent) (Figure 12-1). Overall, 36.6 percent of women who had a birth in the past 12 months were unmarried. By race and ethnicity, the percentage of unmarried women who had a birth was highest for non-Hispanic Blacks (67.3 percent) and lowest for non-Hispanic Asians (13.3 percent) (Table 12-2). These two racial-ethnic groups, however, comprised the smallest shares of women who had a birth in the past 12 months; 5.5 percent were non-Hispanic Blacks and 13.8 percent were non-Hispanic Asians. Hispanics women were the largest group (47.9 percent) and had the highest fertility rate (65 per 1,000). Non-Hispanic Whites were the second largest group (29.4 percent), but had the lowest fertility rate (48 per 1,000). Among women who had a birth in the past 12 months, 46.6 percent of Hispanics and 25.9 percent of non-Hispanic Whites were not married.
