categorization is a matter of ongoing debate, controversy, and evolution. This report uses short-hand terms for racial and ethnic
designations when discussing data provided by the US Census Bureau and other government agencies, while acknowledging these
short-hand terms are not the Census Bureau’s technical terms, nor are they accurate portrayals of the racial and ethnic identities of all
the people they describe. The term “Latino” is used here in place of the Census Bureau’s “Hispanic or Latino” ethnicity descriptor and
data for this group include Latino people of all races. This report also uses “Black” instead of the Census Bureau’s “Black or African
American,” “White” instead of “Caucasian or White,” and other short-hand terms. For all racial categories, estimates only include non-
Latino people, with Latinos grouped as a separate category regardless of race. The term “persons of color” here includes persons who
identify as: Native American; Asian; Black; Latino; Other Race; Pacific Islander; or Two or More Races in Census Bureau data. In other
words, it includes all persons who do not identify exclusively as White.
