Ethnicity GCCCD Student Population (Fall 2004) Service Area Population Estimates (2004 Estimate)
White 13,189 54 1,098,413 66
Hispanic 4,299 18 384,802 20
African-American 1,701 7 124,853 5
Asian/Other 5,133 21 172,219 9
Total 24,322 100 1,780,287 100
Note Service area population estimates were
obtained from San Diego Association of
Governments Census 2004 estimates. Service area
includes all zip codes within the GCCCD boundary,
representing some or all of Alpine, Bonita, El
Cajon, Jamul, Lakeside, La Mesa, Lemon Grove,
Pine Valley, Ramona, San Diego, Santee, and
Spring Valley.
The U.S. Census Bureau permits respondents of
Hispanic origin to choose more than one ethnic
designation. Therefore, it is expected that the
Census estimates for Hispanics would be higher
than those reported for the District. GCCCD
students and staff are permitted to choose only
one ethnicity. This difference in data
collection makes any valid comparison difficult.

Note EEOC expected number of staff reflects 80
of service area population rate, based on SANDAG
2004 estimates.
The U.S. Census Bureau permits respondents of
Hispanic origin to choose more than one ethnic
designation, whereas, GCCCD students and staff
are permitted to choose only one ethnicity.
Therefore, Census estimates for Hispanics are
expected to be somewhat higher than those
reported for the District.
