Notes:
Respondents providing write-in entries, such as, multiracial mixed, interracial, or a Hispanic or Latino group are included in the “Some Other Race” category.
About 43 percent of Hispanics or Latinos classified themselves as “Some Other Race” in Census 2000.
In 2000, 97 percent of the people who reported as “Some Other Race” were Hispanic or Latino.
- Hispanic or Latino is defined as an ethnic characteristic rather than a race and
- People of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race
- Data on Hispanic or Latino population are obtained from a separate question on Hispanic origin
