Table 2: Estimates of the Total Population of States by Race and Hispanic Origin: July 1, 2002. All U.S. Firms include publicly-held, foreign-owned and non-profit firms. Statistics for All Minority, Classifiable Firms and all groups do not include publicly-held, foreign-owned and non-profit entities. Classifiable Firms include minority-owned and non-minority-owned firms. These are firms whose ownership can be classified by race, gender of Hispanic origin. Total numbers for Classifiable Firms represent MBDA estimates. Hispanics may be of any race, because business owners were allowed to identify with more than one race category. S = Estimates are suppressed when publication standards are not met. n/a = not available. Due to the exclusion of tribally held governments in 2002, data for American Indian and Alaska Native firms for 1997 and 2002 are not directly comparable. Growth percentages for Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander firms are not represented because data was suppressed. Population estimates for 2002 were for all ages.
