Expected Behavior

As a user I would like to be able to compare the Gender, Age and ethnicity distribution to Austin population distribution. This would allow me to see if the graphs are merely a mirror of the population. If they are not, there is probably some research to do to find out why.

Possible Solution

Use the census data:

I somehow found the anwser World Population Review site:

Ethinicity %
White 75.01%
Black or African American 7.62%
Asian 6.99%
Other race 6.72%
Two or more races 3.15%
Native American 0.46%
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 0.06%

This link is actually way better: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/austin-tx/#ethnicity

It has a ton of information, an does not merge white and latinos into the same category it does not provide the exact number though, but the graph is pretty clear.

The population of Austin, TX is 47.7% White Alone, 34.2% Hispanic or Latino, and 7.52% Asian Alone.

Another useful source of information is census.
