Eau Claire: Percent of Population Not Reporting
Ancestry - by Tract
The percentage of the population of Eau Claire who did not report their
ancestry was coded by the US 2000 Census as "not reported."
-- The areas of Eau Claire with the most non-reported ancestry are
centered around downtown and the University of Wisconsin - Eau
Claire.
-- This pattern may be a result of the tendency of certain ethnicities
to skip the section in the census questionnaire dealing with ancestry
because of the desire to remain as anonymous as possible.. Also, those
who live around and attend classes at the university tend not to report
their ancestry because they simply aren't an appropriate representation
of the community due to their being from another place.
