Population/Ethnicity
Tables 3.8-2 through 3.8-8 show population characteristics, including total population and race/ ethnic
distribution, for the census tracts contiguous with the proposed receiver sites. The tables also provide the
same ethnic and racial information for adjacent jurisdictions as well as at the county level to facilitate
comparison between the affected area and a broader context.
As shown in the tables, the majority of the project census tracts area have a lower non-white population
percentage than both the local jurisdiction and the County of San Diego as a whole. Although the non-
white population within census tracts 173.04, 175, and 177 is larger than that within the cities of Solana
Beach and Encinitas, respectively, the minority population is still far below that of San Diego County in
general. Therefore, while there may be a higher non-white population within those isolated census tracts
compared to adjacent areas, these concentrations remain below the average regional minority population.
Expressed in terms of a total minority population, most of the census tracts contiguous with the sand
replenishment project area have a lower total minority population percentage than their jurisdictional cities
or the county as a whole.
