About this profile

How representativeness is measured.

Burlington’s demographic baseline — drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-year estimates — is the reference against which every report on the dashboard is evaluated. Each report’s respondents are compared to the city’s actual demographic mix; the closer the two, the more representative the report. Names, addresses, and identifying details are never published. Demographic data is aggregated from anonymized resident profiles only.

Representativeness

How closely the latest 90-day report's respondents reflect Burlington's actual demographics.

0%

Average closeness across four demographic axes — age, gender, race, and neighborhoods — between Burlington’s actual residents and the 4,312 respondents in the latest 90-day report. Higher is more representative. The score reflects the latest report only — not the entire registered list.

Nonbinary or Other3%

Census data does not enumerate nonbinary identity directly. The 1% baseline is an approximation drawn from auxiliary surveys; the response figure reflects respondents who self-identified.

Race & Ethnicity

How Burlington's adult population is distributed by race and ethnicity, and how well respondents in the latest report match that distribution.

White89%
Asian3%
Black or African American3%

Two or more3%

Census racial and ethnic categories do not capture the full texture of identity. Where respondents self-described in ways the Census does not enumerate, we mapped responses to the closest category and surface those self-descriptions inside individual quote cards.

Demographic data is aggregated from anonymized resident profiles. Personally identifying information — name, address, contact details — lives in a separate database, linked to the public profile only by a one-way hash. No personally identifying detail is ever published.
