^ Includes Hispanics/Latinos(as) of all races; in Texas, unable to calculate percent White, Black/African-American, or Others.

** Includes some other race or cases with two or more races.

* The "Within 100 miles" Border area has been added for the State of Texas because the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and the State Planning Office designate counties within this area as "Border Counties".

Note:  Race/ethnicity for nurse anesthetists at the national level is as follows:  91.8% Non-Hispanic White; 4.1% Black/African-American; 2.2% Hispanic/Latino(a); 1.7% Asian/Pacific Islander; and 0.1% American Indian/Alaskan Native. [128]   Since race/ethnicity is not collected by each Board in the Border States, the proportion of nurse anesthetists by race/ethnic group could not be calculated.
