   NOTE:  Estimates for the 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 race.  Beginning in January 2005, data reflect revised population
 controls used in the household survey.
