Crosstabs

To build a Crosstab, first select a row variable and a column variable from the list boxes at the top of the screen. Then press the Crosstab button to display a table of percentages and frequencies.

In this crosstab, you can see that almost 70 percent of the Asian population is foreign-born, the majority of Asian immigrants arriving in the recent years between 1990 and 2000. You can also see that a large percentage of the Latino population, 45 percent, are foreign born, again many of which are recent immigrants.

 

Above: The Variable Selection section and Crosstab Button. In this example Immig is the row variable, and RaceLat is the column variable. Click the image to see what the crosstab looks like in WebCHIP.
