Census 2010: Data on Race and Ethnicity

This document discusses the evolution of racial and ethnic data collection in the U.S. Census from 2000 to 2010. Key changes include the restructured questions regarding Hispanic origin, the ability for respondents to select multiple races, and alterations in race categories such as American Indian and Asian classifications. The implications of these changes reflect the growing diversity in the population. However, comparisons between data from 1990, 2000, and 2010 should be made cautiously due to significant changes in reporting methods.
