Slide 11 of 36
Notes:
Depending on the data product and the particular table, you will be able to get data on race and ethnicity tabulated in several different ways.
In some tables, including the first release of census 2000 information, data will be tabulated for 63 possible combinations of race.
Other tables will show data for 7 race categories: the 6 major race- alone categories (White, African-American, American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and some other race) and a two or more races category.
There will be other tabulations where race alone or in combination will be shown.
Hispanic or Latino is shown in many of the tables.
Data for non-Hispanic/Latinos is available.
You will also be able to get counts, that is, totals for the detailed race (that is, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, etc.) detailed Hispanic origin (Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, etc.) as well as many American Indian and Alaska Native categories in some of the early products.
Characteristics of these groups will be available in later releases of Census 2000 information.
Race choice is by self-identification.
