Only one of these loans went to census tract 3531, the East Cambridge area which had the city's lowest per capita income ($9,923) in the 1989 census...
America thinks of itself as a diverse society -- a "gorgeous mosaic," in the words of New York City Mayor David Dinkins; a quilt of many ethnic and racial patches, in a favorite metaphor of the Rev. Jesse Jackson's. But the figures of the 1990 census, only now crunched, suggest that the demographic surface of life in the U.S. is a lot smoother than one thinks.

This lineup of America's major minorities has been extraordinarily stable over the years. The top four ancestry groups of the 1990 census were not only the top four groups of the 1980 census but also the top four of the 1790 census, as far as one can tell from the surnames collected by the founding headcounters.

But among the legions of high-powered Friends of Bill and Friends of Hillary, there are undoubtedly dozens who have been less scrupulous. Recent Census Bureau and IRS data suggest that only 1 in 4 people who employ household help bothers to pay Social Security taxes. Given the natural reluctance to confide in government agents, the real figure is probably much lower...
