-------------------------------------  2114 -  U.S Ancestry
-
-  The News reports that I hear say there are 12,000,000 illegal immigrants living in the United States.  If this is true, how does it compare with the legal residents we have here?
-
------------- 281,400,000 of the Americans living in the U.S. in 2006.
-
-------------  42,900,000  have German ancestry

-
-  There were 18 other ancestries listed other than the 10 I listed above, that is 91,600,000 Americans with other ancestries.  My ancestors were German, Mom was English, Ida Evelyn Holmes.  So, my ancestry is part of 25% the population.  Kathy is Scotch, Irish, Italian so she is part of 20% of the population.
-
-  88% of the population in the U.S. was born in the U.S.  12% are foreign born.

-
-  In April, 2006,  we had a total population of 298,615,562 in the U.S.

--------------------  A death was occurring every 13 seconds.
-
-------------------   An immigrant arrived legally every 31 seconds.
-
-------------------  The net gain to the population occurred every 11 seconds.
-
-  In 1936 my Ford Truck was two years old and the total population was 128,053,180.   In the last 70 years we have grown 233%.  If that we compound interest it would be 1.2% interest per year compounded annually.
-
-  25% of the total population are children under 18 years of age.
-
----------------  67% of these live with a 2 parent family.  Which means 23% do not have 2 parents living with them.
-
-------------    36% of the births in the U.S.  are to unmarried women.
-
-------------    17% of those children under 18 are living in poverty.

-
-  In the total population of adults 58% are married.

-
-------------  25% have never married.
-
-------------  Of the 59,064,000 married couples 2,157,000 are inter-racial (4%).
-
-  What would be even more interesting if I had the data would be the trend lines for each of these statistics.  The data came from Schott’s Almanac 2007.  I need to update this for some interesting trends to surface.  Hope you learned something interesting.
