NOTE: Percentages do not add up to 100% due to rounding and because Hispanics may be of any race and are therefore counted under more than one category. 1. May 10, 2006, estimate. 2. Those answering “other” have been allocated to one of the recognized race categories. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, National Population Estimates.
