Summary tables of April 1 population estimates by county by race and hispanic origin, 2000 and 2008
The racial groups used in these estimates are: White; Black and African American; American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN); Asian/Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (API); and, Two or More race.
The ethnic group is the Hispanic Origin population. Notice that by the Office of Management and Budget racial classification, Hispanic is not a race category. A person of Hispanic Origin can be racially White, or Black, or any other race.
Estimates are reported by the following categories:
- Total population by race, where each racial group includes persons of Hispanic Origin;
- Non Hispanic population by race, where each racial group excludes persons of Hispanic Origin; and,
- Hispanic Origin population.
Total population is the Non Hispanic population (usually shown for each race category) + the Hispanic population.
Minority population is the Non Hispanic Non White population + the Hispanic population. The Non Hispanic White race category is the only category that is not considered a minority group. The table heading below best shows how minority is defined.
| Non minority | Minority | ||
|---|---|---|---|
