Neighborhood Profile

1990 Census Data (at Block Group level)

The following charts are from the US Census Bureau data for 2000. Data is available down to the block group level within a census tract (see the Census Tract Map for definitions). Block groups in the Lakewood Village area correspond nicely with Lakewood Village’s “units”, with one exception: the block group that contains Unit 1 also contains The Arches apartment complex, and the presence of those apartment dwellers in the data set significantly alters the size and makeup of the population in that area. For that reason, I have charted only units 2, 3, and 4.

The only data available for California from the 2000 census is the “SF1” and “SF2” data sets. These data sets are primarily demographic. Economic data is in the “SF3” data set which has not yet been released for all of the states. As soon as SF3 data is available, I’ll update this site.

For a comparison of 2000 data with 1990 data, see the Census page.

Housing Units

The complete data from which these charts were derived is available in a large Excel spreadsheet. This spreadsheet has data for the individual block groups, totals with and without unit 1, and comparison data for the city of Sunnyvale as a whole. The spreadsheet also contains similar data from the 1990 census, and a table which compares similar data from 1990 and 2000.

Or, if you prefer, you can obtain the raw data from the US Census Bureau at their FactFinder web site.
