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 the main race. For more information, see the "Explanatory

Notes and Estimates of Error" section of this publication.

 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 2003, data reflect revised population

controls used in the household survey.
