Sometimes looking up your city on Wikipedia is very interesting...

"The racial makeup of the city was 91.75% White,..."

No wonder people refer to it as "White Cloud" sometimes. I'm interested to see what the new ratios will be in the 2010 census as there has been a huge influx of Somalis in recent years. Do you think they caught up with all of the large Catholic farm families?

Yes, I like nerdy statistical things (as long as I don't have to calculate any &Chi²s or perform any multi-variable integrations). I also enjoy looking at maps and taking long walks on the beach at sunset.

I'm totally going to check my town on Wiki...

Bridgman, Michigan

Uh, yeah:

The racial makeup of the city was 96.33% White, 0.70% African American, 0.37% Native American, 0.45% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 0.95% from other races, and 1.15% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.81% of the population.

We are soo white.

Wow. So there are cities whiter than mine! HA! I wonder what 0.04% of Pacific Islander means in actual people?

Good question. I think the population is around 2500, so that would be less than a person. I don't think I've ever seen a Pacific Islander around here.
