Race/Ethnicity

Select All Races, one or more specific races, and/or Hispanic.

Multiple values may be selected when creating a table (you may need to hold down the Shift or Ctrl key). However, this menu may be limited to a single selection when creating a chart or map.

Note: Hispanics can be of any race. A person is multi-race if they identify as more than one race.

Important: In non-census years, race/ethnicity population data are only available for a few counties (see table below). Therefore, rate output by race/ethnicity will be limited to those few counties in non-census years. In addition, Asian/Pacific Islander population data are not available for 1990.

Starting in 2013, multi-race cases were excluded from white, black, and Asian/Pacific Islander race categories in order to match the population data used to calculated rates.
