\1\ Race of family is defined as race of head of household. NOTE.--Averages and percents only are shown when the base is 75,000 or greater. Even though the standard errors are large, smaller estimated numbers are shown to permit users to combine categories in various ways. Because of rounding, details may not add to totals.
