Question

Research the poverty rate and racial composition of Albuquerque New Mexico. What did you discover? What kinds of groups compose Albuquerque population? Write a hypothesis as to how you think two of those groups interact with one another (are they harmonious, in conflict, or something else entirely?). How would you test this hypothesis using the research methods discussed in this week?

Answer 1

Poverty rate of Albuquerque New Mexico is 18.2% which is higher than national level however residents below poverty level are 73%and 37% residents above poverty level.

Racial composition of Albuquerque --White -- 73.5%, native American 4.3%, African American 3.45%, Asian 2.7%, other race 11.5%, two or more races 4.4%, pacific islande .10%

From all the above data it is discovered that Albuquerque is mostly dominated by white people while the black and other races are in minorities. But most of the population is below poverty line which means there is lack of resources.

Groups in Albuquerque population -- Hispanic or Latino group,, white alone group,, American Indian group,, Asian alone group,, African American group.

Interaction between two or more group is an exchange between two or more individual. and is building block of society. Due to limited resources in area different group have harmonious relationship with each other. Though there are some conflicts between whites and blacks. White American they do not share with the minorities people.

One can test this by living in that particular area,, or by conducting survey.
