Population by Race/Ethnicity signifies the racial/ethnic distribution
of persons within your ministry area according to the self-identification of the
respondents. It does not denote a clear-cut scientific definition of biological type. |
|
|
White: Persons who identified their race as White, as well as
persons who did not classify themselves in one of the specific race categories listed on
the Census questionnaire but provided a written response such as Canadian, German,
Italian, Lebanese or Polish. Persons of Hispanic origin who indicated White as their race
have been subtracted from this figure. |
|
|
African-American: Persons who indicated their race as Black or
Negro, as well as persons who did not classify themselves in one of the specific race
categories listed on the questionnaire, but reported entries such as African-American,
Afro-American, Black Puerto Rican, Haitian, Jamaican, West Indian, or Nigerian. Persons of
Hispanic origin who indicated Black as their race have been subtracted from this figure. |
|
|
Hispanic/Latino: An ethnic rather than race classification which
identifies the number of persons of Spanish/ Hispanic descent including: Mexican, Puerto
Rican, Cuban, and Other Spanish. Persons of Spanish origin may be of any race. All persons
who indicated Hispanic origin are included in this figure regardless of the race they
chose. |
|
|
Native American: Persons who classified themselves as American
Indian, Eskimo or Aleut. In addition, persons who did not report themselves in one of the
specific race categories, but reported the name of an American Indian Tribe or reported

Indian. Persons of Hispanic origin who indicated Native American as their race have
been subtracted from this figure. |
