Notes:
As part of Federal guidelines on collecting and presenting data on race, the Federal Office of Management and Budget requires agencies to use a minimum of five categories:
Black or African American
American Indian or Alaska Native
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
The Census Bureau, with OMB approval, included some other race as a sixth race category on the Census 2000 questionnaire and will tabulate data for the some other race category.
Additionally, in many of the data products, you will also see tabulations of the number of persons who checked two or more races.
