ARAB AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS MAILING LISTS

Arab Americans were undercounted in the 2000Census, as were many other ethnic, minority, and immigrant populations. Because being of Arab heritage is an ethnicity, Arabs (like Hispanics) are not counted separately in the race question on the Census, but there is no separate ethnic question for Arabs. The long form of the Census includes an ancestry question, Data indicate that "most Arab Americans are of Lebanese or Syrian origin, but the population of Egyptian, Palestinian, and Iraqi Americans has been growing steadily." the population is relatively concentrated: two-thirds (66%) lived in ten states, and one-third (33%) lived in California, New York, and Michigan. About half (48%) lived in just 20 metropolitan areas; the top six were Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, Northeastern New Jersey, Chicago, and Washington, DC. 

Mailing lists are compiled from subscribers, responders, census track data, and the application of the “ AMC ’s Proprietary Ethnic Encoding System” to a nationwide household database. This data is then appended with additional data from National Credit Agencies to determine, Age, Income and Net Worth
