Race & ethnicity8 measures
Hispanic or Latino is an ethnicity and can include people of any race. The six race categories include Hispanic residents; White alone, not Hispanic or Latino is a subset of White alone. Do not add all eight rows together. “Alone” means one reported race.
Race & ethnicity: Fulton County and Georgia Census statistics
2024 Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) are model-based estimates of people below the official poverty threshold for their family size and composition. Rates use the population for whom poverty status is determined. Child groups overlap; do not add the rates. The ranges shown are 90% confidence intervals. These annual estimates use a different method from ACS five-year estimates.
Poverty: Fulton County and Georgia Census statistics
Sources: U.S. Census Bureau population estimates, the 2020 Census, ACS, SAIPE, County Business Patterns, and Nonemployer Statistics. Each measure links its official bulk source; county FIPS 13121. County QuickFacts and Georgia QuickFacts provide additional context. Population, age, sex, and housing-unit estimates use the Population Estimates Program. American Community Survey five-year estimates describe a period rather than a single year. Census counts, business and other measures use the reference periods shown in their rows.
Survey estimates have sampling uncertainty. Direct ACS estimates retain their 90% margins of error in the downloads and API; derived percentages retain numerator/denominator and source component values where available, without a calculated margin of error. Consult Census for methodology. Comparisons use matching measures and periods. State totals are shown for context and are not adjusted for population size. Different reference periods should not be treated as a single-year snapshot.
The detailed age bands use Census county age and sex estimates. Each share is the age-band count divided by the total population for that geography; Georgia is the sum of its counties. Race and ethnicity use Population Estimates Program definitions as QuickFacts. Poverty rates and 90% confidence intervals use the SAIPE state and county file (Georgia state code 13, county code 121). The statewide poverty comparison uses SAIPE too, so it can differ from Georgia QuickFacts.
Latest source retrieval ; individual retrieval dates are included in downloads. Figures are read from structured database records when the static site is built. Updates appear after the next rebuild. Unavailable or suppressed Census values are labeled explicitly.
