stepchildren, and adopted children. Not included are nieces,

nephews, grandchildren, and other related and unrelated children.

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. Persons whose ethnicity is identified 

as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race.
