I was looking up my Mom's hometown and came across this: As of the census of 2000, there were 274 people, 117 households, and 76 families residing in the village. The population density was 577.5 people per square mile. There were 148 housing units at an average density of 311.9/sq mi. The racial makeup of the village was 86.50% White, 4.01% Native American, 7.30% from other races, and 2.19% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 55.47% of the population. I don't understand how the numbers break downt, It's 100% til Hispanics are added. Huh??? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I this is one of those cases where Hispanic/Latino isn't counted as a race. They were probably tucked under white.
Yup, from wikipedia: Ethnicity: Hispanic and Latino Americans Hispanic and Latino Americans have ancestry from Latin America or Spain.[7] On the census form this identity is reported via the Hispanic or Latino Origin question, known also as the Ethnicity question, which is separate from the Race question.[10][4] Self-identifying as being Hispanic or Latino and not Hispanic or Latino was neither explicitly allowed nor explicitly prohibited.[7] On the Race question, Hispanic and Latino Americans choose from among the same categories as all Americans: no separate racial category exists for Hispanic and Latino Americans, as they do not make up a separate race.[1] Thus each racial category contains Non-Hispanic or Latino and Hispanic or Latino Americans; for example: the White race category contains Non-Hispanic Whites and Hispanic Whites (White Hispanics); the Black or African American category contains Non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanic Blacks (Black Hispanics); and likewise for all the other categories. See the section on Hispanic and Latino Americans in this article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial...ates#Ethnicity:_Hispanic_and_Latino_Americans
Well, I think Hispanic can also be under "7.30% from other races, and 2.19% from two or more races" so it might be 55.47% of 95.99%.
