Boston area ethnic percentages

Brian Francione, at the Waltham Y, told me that the majority ethnic group in the Boston area is those who are of mixed Irish-Italian ancestry.

Then they hired Jack Fucci for their executive director job at the Waltham Y that I applied for.

Then Francione came into the locker room to announce that Jack Fucci is the new Executive Director and to suggest that I get a graduate degree.

I spent about 8 hours Sunday researching the ancestry and ethnic composition of the Boston population. I did not mean to spend so much time on it but i got absorbed in it.

The data I laboriously and skillfully obtained & put together, listed a person's ancestry as being of 'the first ancestry mentioned' (by the person), or did not bother explaining on what basis ancestry was assigned to a person by the data collectors. I consider the data I put together, to be approximations.

Actually, of the Boston area population Irish are 24%, and Italians are 15%, which comes to a total of 39% of the Boston area population.

Regarding ancestries found in myself:

The English (8.3% of Boston area pop.), the Scotch-Irish (2.6% of Boston area pop.), and the Scots (1.9% of Boston area pop.) put together, are essentially the three groups that compose the UK or Britain population, and added up amount to 12.8% of the Boston area population.

The Germans compose 4.1% of the Boston area population.

Asian Indians compose only 0.9% of the Boston area population, but their median household income in 1999 ($72K per year in 1999), exceeded that of the Irish ($63k per year), the Italians ($57K per year), & the English ($63k per year), the Brazilians ($38K per year), & the Haitians ($39K per year). The Asian-Indian median household income exceeded that of any other group the source I used reported on. I've been told, that the Asian-Indian group in the US, has a higher income per capita than any other ethnic group in the US.

Boston area population representation for types hired by the Waltham Y

The Boston area was found to contain about as many Asian-Indians (0.9%), as it does Haitians (1.1%), Brazilians (0.7%), or Greeks (1.3%). One source declares that 4.2% of the Massachusetts population, is Jewish. The data shows approx 6% of the Boston area population is African-American (including subgroups such as Haitians), & 3.2% is French.
