I don't know, but I found the demographic funny in my 'hood

White-100
Black-0
Hispanic-0

I've always had my assumptions, but that proves it.

Hrm. Apparently there are no black people in Seneca Falls.
Well this thread apparently proves two things:

  • The air in the East Coast is polluted thanks to the western states
  • There are no black people in the Northeast

I'm 1.2 times the average. Since I live in Los Angeles County, I kind of find that hard to believe--we're known for our poor air quality.

"High Pollution Advisory In Effect Thursday

A high pollution advisory [HPA] is in effect for Thursday, December 15, 2005 from midnight until midnight. As a result, residents must refrain from wood burning in fireplaces and/or woodstoves during the advisory period.

Extremely high levels of PM-10 and PM-2.5 (or particulate matter measuring 10 or 2.5 microns or less in size) are expected to reach or exceed the federal standard on Thursday.

This brings us to five high pollution advisories for the month of December alone. Stagnant air and low moisture help to keep the “brown cloud” hanging over the Valley. Residents are strongly encouraged to help reduce pollution levels during this time."

One thing about this area is there is a cholocate factory two blocks away.
Sometimes the air is filled with the sweet smell of chocolate, then there are the times when somebody burns a batch and it smells like candy hell.

How exactly are they getting the data for this? Seems suspect. Also interesting that they have "Hispanic" as a race category when, I believe, it is a sort of cultural category for the census (meaning any race can be hispanic). Anyway.....

For home in NJ: 1.2 times
white = 80.9
black = 0
hispanic = 0


For school/home in VT: 0 times. HAHA.
white = 96.4
black = 0.9
hispanic = 0.9

I thought there would be some pollution up here... but i guess not.
That's strange. I'm about 1/2 an hour from you in what I would consider a less industrius and populated area and I got:

1.1x the average
