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. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is
identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore,
are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Beginning in January
2006, data reflect revised population controls used in the household
