African Americans by the Numbers

As of July 1, 2008, The estimated population of black resident in the United State. including those of

more than one race is 41.1 million. They made up 13.5% of the total U.S. population. This figure

represents an increase of more than half a million residents from one year earlier. The projected black

population of the United States (including those of more then one race) for July 1. 2050 is estimated to

be 65.7 million. On that date, according to the projection, blacks would constitute 15% of the nation’s

total population.

83% of single-race blacks 25 or older, the population who has at least a high school diploma in 2008

20% of single-race black 25 and older had a bachelor degree or higher in 2008

2.5 million of single –race college students fall in fall 2008. This was roughly double the

corresponding number from 15 years earlier

Poverty as a result of homeless

Poverty and the lack of affordable housing are the principal causes of family homelessness. Declining wages and changes in welfare programs account for increasing poverty among families.

One of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population are families with children. In 2007, 23% of all homeless people were members of families with children (US Conference of Mayors, 2007). Recent evidence confirms that homelessness among families is increasing.

Education and Imprisonment Rates for African Americans in Texas

African- American Imprisonment in the US

•A national report published by Justice Policy

Institute in August 2003 showed that nearly twice as

many African American men in their early 30s have

prison records (22%) than Bachelors degrees (12%).

•According to a report by the Justice Policy Institute

in 2002, the number of African American men in

prison has grown to five times the rate it was twenty

years ago

African American Imprisonment in Texas

•African Americans are incarcerated at 5 times the rate of Whites in Texas (3,734 per 100,000 inmates compared to 694 per 100,000 Whites)

•There are more African-American men of all ages in prison in Texas (66,300) than in the Texas higher education system (40,800).

Penitentiary Facts in Texas

imprisoned in Texas: 89,400

and return to their communities each year:

African American Incarceration due to Drug Related Offenses

•The number of people incarcerated in prisons and state jails for drug offenses in Texas has grown nearly 13-fold, from 2,326 in 1980 (or 8% of the prison population), to 29,720 in 2002 (or 21% of the prison and state jail population).

•The number of people admitted to prison in Texas for a drug offense grew from 5,805 in 1986 to 11,722 in 1999—a 102% increase.

Source: “Race and Imprisonment in Texas” website: http://www.justicepolicy.org

African American Incarceration for Drug Related Offenses

• Among youth age 12 to 17, 10% of African Americans, and 12.6% of Whites reported using illicit drugs within the preceding month.

• According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), in 2002, 8.5% of Whites, and 9.7% of African Americans reported using illicit drugs in the preceding month.

• Whites and African Americans reported to be dependent on a substance at virtually the same rate (9.5% of African Americans, and 9.3% of Whites).

• Whites and African Americans have been shown to use illicit drugs at similar rates—and where there is some disparity in drug use, it comes nowhere close to the scale of overrepresentation in arrests and imprisonment.

• Increases in Texas criminal justice expenditures have outpaced increases in education and transportation over the last decade.

• The current Texas criminal justice budget of $2.5 billion exceeds education expenditures by the major Texas school districts.

• High incarceration rates in minority communities in Texas result in significant economic productivity losses.

• Minorities, especially African Americans are overrepresented in the Texas prison population.

• Estimates of lost economic productivity due to incarceration in the African-American community exceed $1 billion dollars.

Single- Parent Families in Texas (as of 2005)

Single parent Families in Texas

•Research conducted for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the American Educational Research Association shows that children in single-parent families score worse on measures of health, education, emotional and behavioral problems than children living with both parents.

• These children also are more likely to drop out of school, to become heads of single-parent families, themselves and to be poorer as adults.

Single-parent families have increased significantly in the United States in the past 20 years, according to the “2005 Kids Count Data Book”.

• Texas has the country’s 11th highest percentage of single-parent households, 39 %.

• Research suggests that approximately 90 percent of single-parent families are headed by females.

60% of children in this country who live in female-headed single-parent families fall below the poverty line, compared with only 12 % of children in two-parent families.

• Children who live in female-headed single-parent homes are more likely to live in poverty due to the limited earning potential of women, inadequate childcare assistance and lack of child-support payments.
