2000 Census Population by Race and Hispanic Origin

The U.S. Census Bureau considers race to be separate from ethnicity. Because the two are distinct concepts, persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race. The following table summarizes the race of the total population, Hispanic persons, and non-Hispanic persons.
