Notes
Census 2000 adheres to the federal standards for collecting and presenting data on race and Hispanic origin as established by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in October 1997 and subsequent guidelines. One of the most important changes for Census 2000 was the revision of the questions on race
and Hispanic origin to better reflect the country’s growing diversity. The federal government considers race and Hispanic origin to be two separate and
distinct concepts. In addition, Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders are counted as two separate and distinct racial groups.
Because of these changes, the Census 2000 data on race are not directly comparable with data from the 1990 census or earlier censuses. Caution must be
used when interpreting changes in the racial composition of the U.S. population over time.
