*Clarification: This data was originally published in a chart that listed "Hispanic" under the category of race. It has now been updated to reflect ethnicity.

The data used by Patch.com from the U.S. Census Bureau for race includes people who identify themselves as of Hispanic origin. As explained by the U.S. Census Bureau, "the federal government considers race and Hispanic origin to be two separate and distinct concepts." Therefore, "Hispanic and Latinos may be of any race." For information on the racial breakdown of the non-Hispanic population, see the American Fact Finder "Hispanic or Latino and Race" chart under the "not Hispanic or Latino" topic category.
