  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.
