The ancestry data are from SF3, table PCT16, First Ancestry Reported. These data are based on questions in the population and housing long census questionnaire, also known as the "Sample Data" because they are collected from a sample of the population (generally 1-in-6). Ancestry is a person's self-identified heritage, ethnic origin, descent, or close identification to an ethnic group. Examples of ancestry groups include Arab, Brazilian, Canadian, Czech, Irish, Italian, Russian, Subsaharan African, West Indian, etc.
The Race and Ethnicity data are derived from SF 1, tables P1, P3 and P4, which is based on questions asked on the short Census questionnaire which is sent to the entire population. Race is a person’s self-identified race or races with which respondent most closely identifies. The Census Bureau recognizes 5 race classes: White, Black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander. The Race data used consists of data for people of one race alone.
Ethnicity (origin) is the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person's parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identified their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino in their answers to the short census questionnaire are reported as Hispanic.
These data were downloaded from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Factfinder search engine.
