Projections of the State Population

Race, minority, and ethnic estimates and forecasts should be interpreted with caution. Census data on race and ethnic status are based on respondents' self-identification. This identification may change between censuses for people who might claim membership in more than one group. Definitions and collection procedures have also changed. This limits the reliability of birth, death, and migration trends used to develop population forecasts.
