| * Hispanic Origin is not a separate race. A person identified as Hispanic may be of any race. | ||||||
| ** The Census Bureau included multi-racial categories in the 2000 Census that were not included in the 1990 Census. Therefore, race data from 1990 and 2000 should be compared cautiously. | ||||||
