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.
