Notes:
1. INDEX compares the percentage value for the area with the comparable value for the State or Nation. The comparison is a division of the area value by the state/national value, then subtracting 100.
2. Small differences may be noted between these numbers and those found at the Bureau FactFinder site. These will be due to the selection of different tables or universes. N.b., Language, Home Value, Rent.
3. POPULATION by RACE/SPANISH ORIGIN: all percentaqes add to 100. E.g., "White" is Non-Hispanic White.
4. To print this page, either use LANDSCAPE orientation or reduce the scale of the page.
