   1 Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only; persons who selected more than one race group are not
 included. Prior to 2003, persons who reported more than one race group were included in the group they identified as their
 main race.
   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 2003, data reflect revised population
 controls used in the household survey.
