Census data can be used to filter these national participation numbers for a regional and local level. Table 26 below illustrates the potential 2000 musical play participation in Suffolk for those residents over 25. Using these numbers generates a participation of 9742 residents in 2000. This example points out the implications for the participation rates. While there are almost three times as many residents in the high school diploma category as compared to the bachelor degree category, 12338 over 4872, the participation rates for a bachelor degree is much higher then a high school diploma, and the final participation total is actually more for the bachelor category. If the 1990 numbers are used at the same participation rates, then the total participation is 6748 residents, as illustrated in Table 26. Table 26 – Musical Play participation 2000 Musical Play 2000 Population Participation rate Total Participation Less than 9th grade 3796 6.0% 228 9th to 12th grade, no diploma 5856 12.6% 738 High school graduate (includes equivalency) 12338 15.7% 1937 Some college, no degree 9569 28.4% 2718 Associate degree 2893 28.4% 822 Bachelor's degree 4872 43.6% 2124 Graduate or professional degree 2338 50.3% 1176 Total 41662 9742
Table 27 – Musical Play participation 1990 57 Musical Play 1990 Population Participation rate Total Participation Less than 9th grade 5908 6.0% 354 9th to 12th grade, no diploma 6214 12.6% 783 High school graduate (includes equivalency) 9380 15.7% 1473 Some college, no degree 6302 28.4% 1790 Associate degree 1663 28.4% 472 Bachelor's degree 2908 43.6% 1268 Graduate or professional degree 1209 50.3% 608 Total 33584 6748 These final numbers can be compared to the total populations over 25, resulting in a final percentage of the population that has participated in that particular art form. As the population increased, it is natural that the total participation should increase as well. What is significant is that the total participation rate increased as well, from 20% to 23% of the total population, as illustrated in Table 28. This suggests that while the population is growing, participation is actually growing a bit faster, mainly as a result from the increasing education levels. Table 28 – 1990 and 2000 participation levels Musical Play 1990 2000 Total population 52141 63677 Total above 25 33584 41662 Participation Number 6748 9742 Participation Percent 20.1% 23.4% Using this method, Census tract 751 and 754 is predicted to have the highest total participation in total numbers, while tracts 751 and 753 is predicted to have the highest participation by percentage of residents. Census tracts 651 and 655 are predicted to have the lowest participation in total numbers, while tracts 654 and 655 are predicted to have the lowest participation by percentage of residents. Extra effort will be needed to encourage participation in thee tracts. Appendix C, located at the end of the document, reports participation levels using 2000 census numbers filtered through the 1997 participation numbers for both income and education. It should be mentioned that the rate of participation does change over time, and there would be slight changes in participation rates between 1990 and 2000. These participation numbers can be used to illustrate the level of arts in the community and can serve as a guide for programming. To conclude, these statistics are national standards, reflecting general participation in the arts. It can be argued that the participation will occur at different
