NOTE: Detail for the above race groups (white, black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because
data are not presented for all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be
of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data reflect the introduction of revisions
to population controls in January 2005 and 2006. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
