You could look at the HMDA data for Asbury Park. HMDA is the home mortgage disclosure act and it traces lending by race and gender. This would only tell you lending by race though.
I have two sites I use for AP statistics when writing grant proposals. One is Epodunk and the other is DataPlace. Here's the links to AP demographics on each http://www.dataplace.org/area_overview/?place=x3384 and http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=18306. The US census data will only give you Monmouth county and AP is very different demographically from the rest of the county. If you are up to researching HMDA you can go to FFIEC again http://www.ffiec.gov/Geocode/default.aspx and type in an address. That will give you a census tract number. I put in my house address on First Ave. It is in tract 8071.00. Then clicked on get demographics. It is in a moderate income tract. There are 3374 people living in the tract. 82% are minorities and 571 out of 1047 are owner-occupied units. From those numbers I'd leap to conclude that something like 350- 400 are minority owned. Not totally scientific, but logical. Fun huh? Knowing my neighbors on the block and that the majority of the homes are owner occupied, I feel that the number is pretty accurate. When you write grants you get to be a complete data wonk. So please forgive me if I'm rattling on here. Jennifer Yahoo!
