1 For
the 2000 Census, this category refers only to persons declaring one race. The
1990 Census offered no option to identify with more than one race. 2
Two or More Races - This category, first offered in the 2000 Census, allowed the
option to identify with more than one race.
Notes: "Population
of one race" refers to those who identified themselves to the Census as of
one race only. "Population of two of more races" refers to those
who identified themselves as of at least two races. "Total Population"
is the combination of both.
"Hispanic of Latino" is not considered a "race" by the
Census. Rather, it is a cultural/ethnic classification that overlaps with race.
Persons who identify themselves as "Hispanic or Latino" must also
identify themselves with a race or combination of races. In fact, a large number
of these persons identify themselves with the racial classification
"white."
We have added a column under "Population of one race" that is titled
"White (Not Hispanic or Latino)."
