2 Total Population equals the sum of White, Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Other Race and 2 or more races.
3 Since each person could report multiple races in the 2000 Census, race-specific counts and percentages in this table are based on persons self-reporting only one race.
4 The Chinese, Filipino and Japanese populations are also included within the "Asian" population.
5 Hispanic ethnicity is tabulated independently of race, so Hispanic persons may be of any race.
