Oneida County School District Census Profiles

I have previously posted links to the four ACS profiles for each village, town and city in both Herkimer  and Oneida County through the American Fact Finder. Below, you can now find the same types of profiles but for the school districts traditionally associated with Oneida County.

These links allow you to see each profile, by district, by clicking on a link for the type of profile you'd like to view: Demographic, Social, Economic, or Housing. In addition to the district's data, each profile also includes the county and state data for comparative purposes, as well as the margins of error.

So here are the 2014 Five Year Estimates for school districts in Oneida County. This does NOT include Notre Dame in Utica.

Utica-Rome MSA Regional Profiles: 2014 Single Year and Five Year Profiles

Below, you can access both the 2014 Single Year Estimate Profiles and the 2014 Five Year Estimate Profiles foe the Utica-Rome MSA (Herkimer and Oneida Counties combined). Simply click on a link for the type of profile you'd like to view of the region: Demographic, Social, Economic, or Housing. In addition to the MSA's data, each profile also includes the data for the country and the state for comparative purposes, as well as the margins of error.

Both the single year and the five year estimates are offered here. The logic of which to use depends on what your purpose is. According to the Census Bureau, one would use the single year estimates if you were looking for the most recent data on the region. But if accuracy were more important, then you should use the five year estimates.



So if you are looking for the "most recent data" on the region, then refer to the single year estimate tables below.

A Look at Those That Work and Those That Are Not Working in Herkimer and Oneida Counties


People who are neither working nor looking for work are counted as “not in the labor force,” according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. A recently released article from the BLS takes a look at those not in the labor force in depth. Since 2000, they conclude that the percentage of people who are not working has increased. Data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) and its Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC) provide some insight into why people are not in the labor force.

Data from the CPS and ASEC found that from 2004 to 2014, there was an increase in the proportion of the population 16 years and older that was not in the labor force.  Increases were cited specifically among those attending school, those having an illness or disability, or those that entered retirement as their main reasons for not working. The percentage of people who were not in the labor force and the reasons they gave for not working varied by age and gender. Here are a few examples of some of their findings based on respondent characteristics:

  • Youth: Among younger people, the percentage not in the labor force rose sharply and the most often cited reason for not working was school attendance.
  • Working Age: The percentage not in the labor force also rose for both men and women 25 to 54 years of age, and nearly all of the reasons cited previously recorded an increase.
  • Gender: Women between 25 and 54 were more likely than men to cite home responsibilities as the main reason for not working.
  • Educational Attainment: Men and women 25 to 54 years with less education were more likely to be labor force nonparticipants than their counterparts with more education. From 2004 to 2014, the increases in the percentage of men and women not in the labor force were larger for those with less education. People with less education were more likely than those with more education to cite illness or disability as the main reason for not working.
  • Older Adults: The proportion of older adults who were not in the labor force declined from 2004 to 2014. Older adults were most likely to cite retirement as the main reason for not working, although the percentage who cited this reason fell. The older adult population saw an increase in the proportion who cited illness or disability as the main reason for not working. 

Regionally, the chart below provides some insight on who is and who isn't part of the labor force for the population 16 and over for both Herkimer and Oneida Counties. About 60% of the population in each county works, either full-time, part-time or by being enlisted in the armed forces. These are the blue parts of the "doughnut". Thirty seven percent (37%) of all people over age 16 work full-time year-round; another 21% work less than full-time year-round.

Roughly 40% of the population age 16 and over do not work (the red portions of the chart above). The largest portion of people not in the labor force are retirees (16%). The remaining non-working portion of the population is spread pretty evenly between the ill or disabled (7%), those attending school (6%), those with home responsibilities (6%), and those that are unemployed (5%).

To even get a better understanding of these subgroups, I have provided some breakouts for each one below. The basic graph (the doughnut) is the same, but I have added a few "factoids" as they apply to that group in either Herkimer or Oneida County, respectively.

Squirrels: A Threat to The Electrical Grid?

While not trying to underplay the potential for problems from other sources for the US electrical grid, it is sort of interesting to see quotes like the following about the role squirrels play in disrupting power resources:

"I don't think paralysis [of the electrical grid] is more likely by cyberattack than by natural disaster. And frankly the number-one threat experienced to date by the US electrical grid is squirrels." - John C. Inglis, Former Deputy Director, National Security Agency 2015.07.0

The somewhat tongue-in-cheek group Cyber Squirrels have mapped the disruptions of the power grid by animals, primarily squirrels, over the last 30 or so years. Here is a screen shot of the NYS map. Note that the one dead center in the state is from a squirrel "attack" on the power grid near Utica College in 2015.

You can visit the Cyber Squirrel webpage to see other places where animals have contributed to power outages.

Herkimer County Internet Access

Below is a chart showing the percent of households in Herkimer County that have internet access, based on an extrapolation of recently released 2014 ACS data. Of the 70% that have internet access, most of those are households that subscribe to an internet service (68% of ALL households subscribe to dial-up, DSL, cable, fiber optic, satellite, or some combination of these services when accessing the internet). Roughly 30% of Herkimer County households lack internet access as of 2014.
