<br />Page 8│Kittitas County Air Quality Survey│9/30/2014 <br />TABLE 1: Community Survey Demographic Results <br /> <br />Demographic Characteristics <br />For the most part, the demographic characteristfcs of survey respondents corresponded with the <br />overall county demographic makeup as reported by the 2013 census estfmates. Percentage of <br />responses from the major populatfon centers (Upper and Lower County) corresponded closely with <br />the populatfon profile despite an underrepresentatfon of the Kittitas County males. The various age <br />groups were broadly represented; however, there were not many responses from the 15 to 24 year <br />old subset of the populatfon. The percentage of residents in the 15 to 24 year age range tends to be <br />higher because of the large college student populatfon. The Hispanic populatfon was also slightly <br />underrepresented in the survey results. This is something to take into consideratfon for future survey <br />efforts. It is also significant to note that homeowners represented much a much bigger percentage of <br />responses than renters. <br /> <br /> <br />Kittitas County Demographics Population* Survey** <br />County Populatfon Seats <br /> Upper County: Cle Elum, South Cle Elum, Roslyn, Ronald and Easton 20% 21% <br /> Lower County: Vantage, Kittitas, Ellensburg and Thorp 80% 79% <br />Gender <br /> Male 50% 26% <br /> Female 50% 74% <br />Age <br /> 15-24 years 26% 4% <br /> 25-34 12% 16% <br /> 35-54 23% 42% <br /> 55-64 12% 26% <br /> 65 and over 13% 12% <br />Race/Ethnicity <br /> African American/Black 1% 0% <br /> Asian/Pacific Islander 3% 1% <br /> Caucasian/White 90% 89% <br /> Hispanic/Latfno 8% 2% <br /> Natfve American/Alaskan Natfve 1% 1% <br /> Multfple 2% 3% <br />Housing <br /> Homeowners 58% 76% <br /> Renters 42% 23% <br /> Resides within city limits/urban areas 54% 52% <br /> Resides outside of city limits/rural areas 46% 48% <br /> *Based on 2013 Census estimate. **Percentages are rounded.
