Summary Tables of April 1 Population Estimates by County by Race and Hispanic Origin, 2000 and 2008
These estimates are done with five race categories and one ethnic category.
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 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Population | Non Hispanic White Race Population |
Non Hispanic Non White Races Population |
