Note. The “not black alone or in combination and not Hispanic” category and the “not black alone and not Hispanic” category are not categories used by the Census Bureau. Please see the text for an explanation of how the figures for these categories were derived. DA estimates by Hispanic origin are only available for the December 2010 DA release. Responses of “some other race” from the 2010 Census are modified. This results in differences between the populations for specific race categories shown for the 2010 Census population in this table and those in the original 2010 Census data.
