NOTE: Racial and Ethnic Characterizations in the 1970 Census do not match those in the 1980, 1990, and 2000 Censuses. Therefore, Race/Ethnicity data are only reported for 1980,1990, and 2000. For 2000 data, "White, Non-Hispanic" and "Black, Non-Hispanic" include only persons identifying themselves as "White alone" and "Black or African American alone" respectively. "Other Races, Non-Hispanic" includes those identifying themselves as "American Indian and Alaska Native alone", "Asian alone","Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone","some other race alone", or of more than one race.
