The key for SUMLEV is as follows:
      050 = St-County and/or Statistical Equivalent

The key for SEX is as follows:
      0 = Total
      1 = Male
      2 = Female

The key for ORIGIN is as follows:
      0 = Total
      1 = Not Hispanic Origin
      2 = Hispanic Origin

Note: Hispanic origin is considered an ethnicity, not a race. Hispanics may be of any race.

The key for RACE is as follows:
      1 = White Alone 
      2 = Black Alone 
      3 = American Indian and Alaska Native Alone 
      4 = Asian Alone
      5 = Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Alone 
      6 = Two or more races

Note: The original race data from Census 2000 are modified to 
eliminate the "some other race" category.  This modification is
 used for all Census Bureau estimates products and is explained 
in the document entitled “Modified Race Data Summary File Technical 
Documentation and ASCII Layout” that can be found on the Census Bureau
 website at http://www.census.gov/popest/archives/files/MRSF-01-US1.html.

Note: The 4,289 people in Clifton Forge city, VA, which was an independent city as 
of Census 2000, are not included in the April 1, 2000 Census enumerated population
presented in the county estimates. In July 2001, the legal status of Clifton Forge
changed from a city to a town and became dependent within (or part of) Allegheny 
County, VA. This population is now included in the April 1, 2000 estimates base and
all July 1 estimates for Allegheny County. The geographic change notes can be found
