West: Army representation ratio, 2004-2005

NPP In Action

Alameda City, CA

"We used NPP's figures at the City Council to show how the Iraq War impacts us here at home. They passed a unanimous resolution supporting a diplomatic approach to the war. It was a good resolution. Last year we had only 2 votes out of 5. This year 2 people changed their minds and the new council member supported the resolution."

- Dorothy Kakimoto, Local Activist

The chart below indicates the population representation of recruits for each state in the West region. Each bar represents a ratio of two proportions: the state's share of total recruits over the state's share of the total youth population. A score of one or more means that the state is over-represented in the Army. A score of less than one means that the state is under-represented in the Army for the fiscal year.

Notes: Army data were obtained from the Army through a FOIA request submitted by NPP for 2005; 2004 data was obtained by Peacework magazine through a FOIA request and sent as received to NPP.
