  2. Census 2000 Question on Hispanic Origin

  3. Census 2000 Question on Race

  4. Six Race “Alone” Categories • White • Black or African American • American Indian and Alaska Native • Asian • Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander • Some other race

  5. Race Alone and Race in Combination • Race alone Respondents who reported only one race • Race in combination Respondents who reported two or more races • Race alone or in combination Respondents who reported one race, plus those who reported that race in combination with at least one other race

  6. Race and Hispanic Tabulation Categories 7 mutually exclusive racial categories • White alone • Black or African American alone • American Indian & Alaska Native alone • Asian alone • Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander alone • Some other race alone • Two or more races Hispanic or Latino • White alone, not Hispanic or Latino

  7. Diversity The Census Bureau does not have an official definition for “minority” One way to measure the Nation’s diversity is to combine both Hispanic Origin and Race • White Not Hispanic • All other race and Hispanic or Latino groups

  8. Growing Diversity White Not Hispanic Population • Still the largest population group, but it’s growing slowly • 1990: 188.1 million or 76% of the total population • Up 6.4 million -- an increase of 3% since 1990 • 2000: 194.6 million or 69% of the total population

  9. Growing Diversity (cont’d.) All other race and Hispanic or Latino Groups • Still less than one-third of the population, but growing rapidly • 1990: 60.6 million or 24% of the total population • Up 26.3 million -- an increase of 43% since 1990 • 2000: 86.9 million or 31% of the total population
