This source provides statistics and hard data as evidence of the demographics in a certain area. It was the intent to back up statements regarding cultural diversity with data backing up the cultural diversity present in Eugene. This source helped me identify the rate and number of the Latina and Hispanic population in the area.
I went to American Fact Finder and entered in Eugene, Oregon demographics. Then I clicked on Latino and Asians. There is no author and all data comes from the United Census Bureau.
