Abstract	This paper describes and analyzes the demographic characteristics of the Pre-Mariel Cuban American population living in the United States as presented in the 1980 U.S. Census of the Population. Information is not provided for the Mariel entrants, who began arriving from Cuba on April 21, 1980, because the data were derived from a one-in-a-thousand sample of the total U.S. population as determined on April 1, 1980. The analysis is separated into two divisions. In the first section, the United States is considered as a whole. The nation's residents of Cuban descent (803,226) are compared to those of Mexican (8,740,439), Puerto Rican (2,013,945), and "Other Spanish" (3,051,063) origin, as well as to non-Hispanics. Factors examined include the following: (1) numbers and place of residence; (2) physiological characteristics; (3) spatial mobility and citizenship; (4) language abilities; (5) labor force characteristics; (6) income patterns; (7) social attributes; and (8) socioeconomic rank. These comparisons provide an understanding of the demographic context in which Cubans are living in the United States. In the second section, the Pre-Mariel Cuban American population is classified and compared according to the following areas of residence: (1) Florida; (2) the combined areas of New Jersey and New York; and (3) the rest of the United States. Statistical data are included on 26 tables and six graphs. A list of 66 endnotes are also included. The appendix includes a discussion of the methodology used in the ranking system. (FMW)
