-- examining Hispanic citizen voting age population by neighborhood .. a good place to start finding an answer to this question is to use the Hispanic citizen voting age population (CVAP) data. We take a look at using those data here. You can use these same tools and data to examine areas of interest. This section is focused on using census tract level CVAP data. Census tracts cover the U.S. wall-to-wall with well-defined boundaries and average 4,000 population. The approximate 73,500 census tracts offer a good granularity to examine citizen voting age population for neighborhoods and sections of cities or counties.

This map shows how Texas 114th CD 29 has many census tracts that have high concentrations and percent of Hispanic CVAP (see legend at lower right in graphic). It is easy to where the Latino vote potential is by tract throughout the central Houston area. Develop thematic map patterns like this for any area of the U.S. Optionally link in voting districts/precincts, state legislative districts among many others. Modify appearance with different colors, interval/color assignments, labels among other settings. CVAP data are available for several types of geographic areas (states, counties, census tracts, block groups, among others) from the annually updated American Community Survey (ACS) CVAP special tabulation. Using the Interactive Table Use the interactive table in this related section to analyze patterns among census tracts where numbers and percent of Hispanic CVAP are large. Follow these steps to analyze pattern in the central Houston: • Click ShowAll button below table (resets table). • Click CountyFIPS button below table. - refreshes table with only tracts in county 48201 (Harris County/Houston). • Click Hispanic button below table at far right. - refreshes table with same rows but now selected columns. • Click the "CVAP Hispanic" column header twice. - sorts in descending order; view now appears as:  Tract 48201221300 has the highest Hispanic CVAP population (3,405) among all tracts in Harris County (48201). This tract is shown in the map below (see pointer; a zoom in to the map shown above. The tract is labeled with the tract code and the Hispanic CVAP population (3,405).  Apply these same methods to any area in the U.S. to determine those census tracts having the highest Hispanic CVAP and the *potential* to have a relatively large Latino Vote in the 2016 Elections.

About the Data Data used in this section are based on the 2013 American Community Survey (ACS) 2009-13 5-year CVAP special tabulation. CVAP estimates have been developed for U.S. national scope geographic areas including the U.S., state, county, city/place, minor civil division, census tract and block group. The scope of the subject matter is focused on total number of United States citizens for the geographic area total number of United States citizens 18 years of age or older for the geographic area, each cross-classified by several race/ethnicity groups. The estimates for the number of citizens and voting age population for each of the race/ethnicity groups is shown in the above interactive table.
