Population by Race

Census 2000

Chart: Population by Race

In 2000 for the first time respondents to the federal census were allowed to check more than one race category thus allowing the tabulation of persons of multiple race.
Distribution of population by race category for 2000 is not directly comparable with that of earlier censuses.
