  NOTE:  Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data
are not presented for all races.  In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race
and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.  Beginning in January 2004, data reflect revised population
controls used in the household survey.
