        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 2006, data reflect revised population controls
     used in the household survey.
