NOTE: Children are "own children" and include sons, daughters,

stepchildren, and adopted children. Not included are nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and other related and unrelated children. Detail

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.
