Census Bureau data

Census Bureau data suggest an increase from 175,000,000 people to 211,-000,000 by 1970. Marketing will be affected by the change in the number of people in the age group from 19 to 25, which will increase 45% in the 60 s. This means new families, and new families mean new homes and all that goes to equip those homes—housewares, toys, containers, and new types of packaging for all types of goods. This means an increased demand for plastics, because of their sales appeal, utility, and low cost.

For major point sources, site-specific population patterns were extracted from U.S. Census Bureau files using data at the Enumeration District/Block Group (ED/BG) level. These data provide the finest resolution of population patterns available. The data were scaled from 1970 to a base year of 1978 using county growth factors published by the Census Bureau. Interpolations of population and concentration patterns were used to develop patterns of exposure/dosage that were then summed to produce source-specific exposure/dosage totals.

The U.S. is unique among advanced nations in that it has resisted the implementation of a system of imiversal health care and instead has gradually built a system in which employers are the primary sponsors of health care coverage for the majority of the population. Medicare and Medicaid cover the elderly, disabled, and very poor. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, a small proportion of people, less than 7% of the population under 65 years of age, purchase health insurance on their own. In 2002, the remaining 41 million persons were uninsured. The uninsured represent 14.6% of the total population, 16.5% of the population under 65 years. Those with adequate resources pay out of their pockets for health care. The others go without care, delay care, or seek health services from a fragile and incomplete system of charity care and safety-net providers. 

The Census Bureau has a series of Cotton Ginning Reports of special interest to agricultural chemical manufacturers. Included are figures on cotton ginned, yields of lint, and acreages statistics are shown by counties and states. In some cases, the published data represent joint efforts of the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.

U.S. Government data on domestic R D expenditures by industry are available from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Survey of Industrial Research and Development conducted routinely since 1956. Each firm in the sample is classified by a three-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code.2The U.S. Census Bureau on behalf of NSF collects data on total companywide domestic R D expenditures. The estimates for drug companies (SIC 283) include all R D conducted in the United States in company-owned and -operated facilities. Unfortunately, nonpharmaceutical R D may be included in the estimates.

The United States Census Bureau tracks our so-called vital statistics, which include life expectancies and rates and causes of death. Because this data is compiled by census and not for purposes of proving or disproving arguments specifically relating to chemical residues, it should provide us with an unbiased perspective on the health status of the United States. The annual compilation of these statistics will be the primary source of my data. They are readily accessible to anyone who looks (www.census.gov/statab). Let s go to the source. Table 4.1 is an abstract of the life-expectancy data from 1970 projected through the year 2010. In other words, for a baby born in the tabulated year, this is how long he or she is expected to live based on past life expectancies. 

If we return to the Census Bureau for data, we can look at a comparison of 5-year survival rates by cancer type from the seventies through the nineties. Unfortunately, these have remained flat for this time period. There has been marginal improvement in some types however, the Reaper changes his scythe and ultimately attacks anew. Thus there is no evidence that cancer death rates have stabilized solely because of an increase compensated by improved survival and therapy.

Population data are often incomplete and not always found locally at a level of detail to accurately estimate the risk along a transportation route. If this is the case, there are several sources that may provide valuable iirformation. In the United States, data can be obtained from the Census Bureau in varying degrees of detail. This type of information is also available internationally. Data are required on the presence and location of people surrounding the transportation route in order to calculate the possible number of impacts (e.g., potential fatality, injury, or evacuation levels).
