This table shows the difference between the population by race in 1990 and the population by race in 2000. Because individuals could report 

report more than one race in 2000 and because of other changes in the census questionnaire, the race data for 1990 and 2000 are not directly

The difference in population for a race between 1990 and 2000 using race alone in 2000 (column 5) and the difference in population between 

or in combination in 2000 (column 7) provide a “minimum-maximum” range for the change in population of that race between 1990 and 2000

Indian and Alaska Native, (4) Asian, (5) Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, (6) Some 

other race.

2 Alone or in combination with one or more of the other five races listed. Numbers for the 

six race groups may add to more than the total population and the six percentages may 

add to more than 100 percent because individuals may indicate more than one race. For 

example, a person indicating "American Indian and Alaska Native and Asian and Native 

Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander" is included with American Indian and Alaska Native, 

with Asian, and with Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander.
