Well. no, it isn't. And you cannot prove that it is. But hey if it's just "much of your data" then provide what you do have, i'll wait.
As I said, much of the data I have, just like the weekly and monthly subscriber PPN and monthly diary data I receive, is subject to confidentiality and non disclosure. I won’t reveal data on fallout or music tests or perceptual, either.
I posted factual information and you just said "nah" because you are obsessed with being right even when you're very wrong (as you were about a Spanish Format and an Urban format being launched in the Boston market).
And your data is not in the same format as Nielsen used, such as city by city data, or comes from a random probability sample such as the annual Census Bureau projections. For example, I did find public data on the growth of Hispanic populations in the government (not Nielsen) MSA (same initials, different Meaning) that demonstrated that the Hispanic population growth is almost entirely due to the higher Hispanic birth rate; second generation, even in markets with around a third Hispanic population or greater, is a light or non user of Spanish language radio.
That fact is why Entravision is launching a “bunch” of second generation Hispanic formats with just a touch of Spanish language rhythmic songs, English announcing and hip hop and pop English music to serve that generation whic does not regularly or intensively use Spanish languAge media.
You're telling me Nielsen and Arbitron know how many Puerto Ricans immigrated to Massachusetts.... <--That's a joke of a statement.
No, because they don’t use origin as a stratification variable. But see the local Umass study I mentioned. And the Puerto Rican government study available only in Spanish and in printed form shows almost no migration to the Northeast, with FL and GA leading and Texas following, but well behind.
There is a caveat: since Puerto Rican’s are born US citizens, the data cán be very inaccurate as there is nearly zero migration data, just as there is no “real” data on Californians migrating to Arizona or Texas.
You're going to argue that Nielson and Arbitron monitor that better than the United States Census Bureau? - a 230-year-old organization dedicated specifically to the purpose and dedicated to impartiality.
Yes, they do monitor the kind of data needed for radio surveys much better than the Census. And that is why there are a number of private consumer research companies that have, for decades, done vastly better than the Census bureau. In fact, Nielsen owns a company hat does that and many American marketers use them, not Census data.
It takes all of 20 seconds and a google search to confirm Puerto Ricans still move to Massachusetts (I've done that part for you) and have never stopped moving there. You cannot find any legitimate information to the contrary because it simply does not exist.
A few may move there, but I gave you data from Umass showing little external growth; the decay of the industrial northeast in the last 50 years and the change in Boricua migrants from manual labor rural origin persons to educated city dwellers who come from professional and skilled labor sectors makes the growing South more attractive than the troubled Northeast.
Please just stick to radio, not demography- you're embarrassing yourself.
As mentioned, I worked with the PR government to get PR and metro San Juan classified as a ranked US market by SRDS and got mainland radio ratings installed there. And i ran an in-house research division with over 60 employees for over a decade for the major Hispanic broadcaster and consulted them for another decade, Too. The reason we did this is that the “official” data is not accurate or actionable.
Having high property taxes and a bad city is not a failed state, lmao. It's top 3 for education and median family income, one of the healthiest states, and is home to Princeton University...and has high taxes because it provides abundant public services. Never mind it's home to many of the countries wealthiest and safest municipalities.
it also has extremely high cost of living, decaying larger cities, a dying resort industry and nearly no inbound migration other than defecting NYC residents.
Puerto Rico is by and largely poor, underdeveloped, uneducated, losing population, and literally more comparable to Jamaica than New Jersey- try to regain some credibility and stop with the nonsensical anecdotes. If high taxes equals a failed state then what is Denmark?
Puerto Rico is highly developed,and it’s economy was crippled by the ending of the Section 936 tax incentives. Prior to that, about 80% off all US prescription drugs (to cite one of many examples) were made there.
I lived and worked there for over 30 years; what is your knowledge of the Island.
Your statements about Puerto Rico are very offensive and totally inaccurate. Puerto Rico has long been the victim of a colonialist government attitude, but still had an economy comparable to MS or Arkansas, not Jamaica.
Furthermore, Camden is a small city of 74,000 people and no city in NJ approaches Camden levels of dysfunction but even Camden is much improved and seeing serious private and public investment. Can't say the same for the country that is Puerto Rico-that's why they're moving to Massachusetts
I used it as an example. Look at Atlantic City or Trenton or many of the metro Philly or NYC cities or rural disaster zones like Vineland and add in the horrible cost of living and I’ll take TX or AZ or FL any day.
