          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.  Persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race.  Updated population
       controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.
