Population Coverage by the Seattle-Puget Sound Registry
(2000 Census Data1)
  Both Sexes Males Females
  1. Source: U.S. Bureau of Census, Census 2000, Summary Files 1 and 2.
  2. Total Population equals the sum of White, Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Other Race and 2 or more races.
  3. Since each person could report multiple races in the 2000 Census, race-specific counts and percentages in this table are based on persons self-reporting only one race.
  4. The Chinese, Filipino and Japanese populations are also included within the "Asian" population.
  5. Hispanic ethnicity is tabulated independently of race, so Hispanic persons may be of any race.
  6. Since the Bureau of the Census suppresses counts when there are fewer than 100 people in a specific group in a particular geographic area, sex-specific counts could not be calculated.
