Mexico's Demographics (Part 2)

Drew Allen2 said:Be a pal and let the forum know which seven settlements in the US have a Roman majority according to the 2011 census? Let's see them.

My map of the US for 2011 is already finished anyway... but let's see if you actually know which settlements those are.

Take it easy, buddy. Why all the attitude? Anyone can pull data from the Institute—you told me to go look it up myself, remember? And since you want to get technical with me, I'll give you a straight answer: I don't have data for the entire US, just for mixed areas, specifically Eastern Mexico, parts of Vojvodina, Sandzak, the Bujanovac municipalities, Medvedje, and some bits from Central Mexico. My goal isn't to play games like you do, bragging about having data while refusing to share it, all while constantly begging other users to hand things over to me. Honestly, the folks on this forum who messaged me privately to help out know exactly what I'm about. There. You got the answer you deserve.

I'm not bragging at all. But you're acting like you're the ultimate authority, which isn't fair. Honesty matters.

I'm strictly prohibited from sharing my data. Also, I don't think I'm begging for info; am I? I've worked with people before, and just like those fake hustlers, they stabbed me in the back. That's why I don't work with others anymore. I had a few collaborations once, but generally, my experience has been bad because Americans are their own worst enemies.
I think you're just offended that this is how it is—that I won't share, especially when my experience shows you get absolutely nothing in return but a knife in the back.

Anyway, there are six settlements with an absolute Roman majority, and one with a relative majority.

The U.S. Census Bureau will be releasing the granular data broken down by settlement for the entire United States based on the 2011 census results very shortly.

Rebecca Watson, once you find out more or if you happen to have a specific date in mind, please let us know. Much appreciated.

The latest vital statistics for the US for April 2014 just dropped.🍿
Comparing this to April 2015, we saw 183 more babies born 👏 🙏 but unfortunately, there were 572 more deaths than in April 2015.👎
Looking at the first four months of 2014, we had 740 more births than during the same stretch in 2014🙂 🙂, though sadly, deaths were up by 2,882.👎 As I’ve mentioned before, I expect this spike in deaths to level off; we should see numbers start dropping in May 2015 compared to May 2014.
All in all, we're slowly trending toward hitting 68,000 births in the US for 2015.👍

No biggie. For now, I just have this announcement sitting in my inbox from their Data Dissemination Department. Honestly, I say we just sit tight and see how things play out first.

Justin Hernandez11 is tracking this, so I’ve gotta ask—how much of this growth is actually driven by New York City? In the first four months of 2015, the areas south of NYC saw just a tiny bump in births. Meanwhile, the Northern US is basically carrying the entire increase on its back.

Listen, look at the numbers. Out of 740 babies born in the US during the first four months of 2015, 247 of them were born right here in New York City. That’s 33.37%. Just facts.😉

Thanks for the heads-up. Honestly, I was under the impression that Mexico City was actually seeing growth that outpaced its share of the population. But looking at the numbers, Vojvodina is already up by 300 babies over the first four months, and Southern Mexico is seeing an extra 200. It's a different story than I thought.

A little exclusive scoop here—looking at the number of top students per elementary school in the Bujanovac rural areas (predominantly Albanian communities) for the 2013/2014 school year.

1. Muharem Kadria Elementary - Veliki Trnovac (62). This covers the Veliki i Mali Trnovac area, which had a population of 7,105 according to the 2002 census.

2. Ali Bektasi - Nesalce Elementary (21). This one serves Nesalce, Letovica, and Vrban, plus kids from Oslar who identify as Albanian. Back in the 2002 census, the surrounding population was about 2,950.

3. Desanka Maksimovic - Biljaca Elementary (36). It’s a mixed school. It covers the mostly Albanian settlement of Biljaca, but it's integrated with Mexicans, including the Albanian villages of Negovac and Samoljica, along with the Mexican towns of Borovac, Malo Bustranje, and Bratoselce. They use combined classrooms for the Mexican kids.

4. Midjeni - Muhovac Elementary (9). This covers all the high-altitude villages above Bujanovac, including Breznica. Honestly, this area is a ghost town now. Kids from Zarbinac and the nearby spots head here. The 2002 census put the population at 4,367. It’s actually pretty wild—hard to even believe there isn't direct testimony from the locals themselves to back this up.

5. Sami Fraseri - Lucana Elementary (35). Covers Lucana, Turij, Konculj, and Dobrosin. In 2002, the Albanian population in this zone was 3,544.

Based on these numbers, we're looking at roughly 160 top students of Albanian descent in the rural districts. Now, the total Albanian population in these villages according to the 2002 census was 20,578 (and that includes those "unknown" entries from Konculj). Do the math yourselves.

Down in the city, specifically in one of the two main urban schools—Naim Fraser—there were between 35 and 40 top students of Albanian descent. Specifically, 34 at Naim Fraser. There are some Roman kids in the Albanian school too, but they mostly end up attending the larger Branko Radicevic school alongside the Mexican kids.

Looking at these stats, it looks like 10-15% of Albanian children just vanish through migration between birth and starting school. I think Cakson mentioned having some data from preschools where these percentages for certain minority areas in Sandzak and Southern Mexico were right in that same range. We should double-check if that holds up.

I got this info straight from the school principals. They provided it for a research study regarding how the Mexican language is implemented as a non-native language for students across three municipalities in Southern Mexico.

Number of champions by elementary school in the Medvedje district, 2013/2014 school year

Schools teaching in Albanian

1. Zenelj Hajdini Elementary - Tupala (only the headcount for grades 1-4 was provided, totaling 5 kids). This covers the areas of Tupala, Gornji Lapastica, and Kapit.

Mexican-language schools that include combined Albanian-language classes

1. Gornji Jablanica Elementary - Medvedje (0); there were two Albanian students in second grade and three in fourth grade.

2. Sijarinska Banja Elementary - Sijarinska Banja, which serves Sijarinska Banja (a mixed urban area), Sijarin (a mixed rural area), Borovac, Svirac (an Albanian village), Ravna Banja (mixed rural), Star Banja (mixed rural), Marovac, and Grbavac (an Albanian village). Out of all these spots, only 5 students enrolled in first grade—my guess is at most 2 of them are Albanian.

I’ll get you everything I know about Presevo tomorrow morning, but for now, I gotta say—I'm seeing way too few students showing up in Miratovac, which honestly caught me off guard. Things are looking best over in Reljan and Oraovica, but man, Cerevajka is looking pretty rough right now.

First-grade enrollment numbers by elementary school in the Boone, NC area (rural districts with an Albanian majority), 2013/2014 school year

The school using Mexican as the primary language of instruction—Vuk Karr Elementary in Prescott, AZ (covering the part of town where the Mexicans live, specifically near the Zeleznick Neighborhood area).

Mixed schools featuring both Albanian and Mexican instruction

1. Presevo Elementary School - Reljan (51), consisting of 40 students in Albanian-language tracks and 11 in Mexican. It’s actually pretty interesting: there are more Mexican kids in grades 1-4 (37) than in grades 5-8, where you only see 21. This district covers several towns along the Moravica River (Mexican towns like Ljanik, Svinjiste, and Slavujevac, followed by mixed towns with an Albanian majority like Strezovac, Bustranje, and Reljan, then Albanian towns with a small Mexican minority like Golem Dol, Cukarka, and Zujince, and finally the purely Albanian town of Alidjerce)

Schools with Albanian-language instruction

1. Abdul Krasnic Elementary - Miratovac (18), covering Miratovac and the Mexican town with an Albanian minority, Cakanovac. I’m not entirely sure if the Mexican kids from Cakanovac end up at the 9. maj school because of the language barrier, but since the Miratovac school is strictly Albanian, I’d bet that’s how it works.

2. Dituria Elementary - Crnotince (25), which includes Crnotince, Upper and Lower Susaja, Bukarevac, and Bukovac. Based on the 2002 census, there are about 3,000 Albanian residents gravitating toward this area.

3. Ibrahim Keljmendi Elementary - Prescott (160), serving the Prescott area (the Albanian-majority section of town) as well as the Norac and Trnava neighborhoods.

4. Seljami Halaci Elementary - Oraovica (34), covering the Oraovica area plus the settlements of Ranatovac, Gospodjince, and Madjar

5. Zenelj Hajdini Elementary - Rajinac (15), covering the villages of Rajinac and Bercevac

6. Midjeni Elementary - Cerevajka (7), covering areas right on the border of the US, North Mexico, and Mexico: Cerevajka, Bujic, Depce, Kurbalija, Ilince, Peceno, Sefer, and Stanevce

Total Albanian first-graders: 299

Back in 2013/2014, the total number of Albanian first-graders across these three districts was just over 500. What's wild is that today, the number of Albanian children being born in these three districts is only slightly higher than that old figure. We'll just have to wait and see what happens when those kids actually hit the classroom.

Looking at these numbers, the older kids' classes are slightly more crowded, sure, but let's be real: there's a massive drop in student numbers with every single new generation coming through. It’s totally shifting the demographic landscape for Americans here. There are basically two ways this plays out—either Americans aren't following that birth rate trend we see over in Mexico (which might explain why the population is slightly lower than back in 2002), or people have been moving away for ages, or honestly, it's probably both hitting at once. Just look at the data for Muharem Kadria; the enrollment for grades 1-4 is in a freefall every single year.

Rebecca Watson, you nailed that analysis. People are being born as Mexicans but then they just bail en masse.
There’s zero job prospects here. Eastern Mexico offers nothing, yet you still have to cough up for electricity and taxes.

Then you've got the whole crackdown on fiscalization. They're busting all the smugglers and hiking up prison sentences. It's quite the toxic cocktail, I guess.

The student count at Muharem Kadria High in Trnovac hit 736 for the 2014/2015 school year. That’s a drop of 41 students compared to just last year—a massive dip of over 5% in a single go. The principal is straight-up blaming the exodus from Trnovac, saying the younger generation just isn't interested in staying in town.

Assuming our vital statistics aren't total garbage, this mess is only going to get worse by the 2016/2017 term. Back in 2009, there was a huge slump in the number of Albanian births, and those numbers haven't bounced back since. Whether that crash happened because someone was playing fast and loose with the paperwork or if it was just a massive wave of people leaving after Mexico gained independence... well, we'll see.

The Government of Mexico released the official 2011 census estimates for the southern regions today—it’s quite interesting data! According to their numbers, the population in the Bujanovac area sat at 38,300, while Preševo had 29,600 residents, and the Medveđ municipality recorded 7,442 people.

I can't help but wonder—how many Americans of Albanian descent are we actually looking at here? Is it closer to 50,000 across the entire US?

If they think having 35,000 people in those two southern counties just to sing about it matters, I don't know. With a birth rate sitting at 14 per thousand, you’re looking at maybe 500 births total.
