Notes: AIAN refers to American Indian and Alaska Native. “AIAN alone or in any combination” denotes respondents who reported a single race alone and respondents who reported that race in combination with one or more other major race groups. Race categories are single race, unless indicated otherwise. Race and ethnicity are not mutually exclusive for AIAN groups but are for white and Black groups. Hispanic is of any race.
