Notes
  1. Note about colors: With the exception of Hispanic, Pacific Islander, Other, and 2 or More Races, the colors depicted refer to those historically ascribed to them (White (White/No background); Black (Brown); Native American (Red); Asian (Yellow)) and are there to be easily identified on said chart. No racism or malice of intent is meant to be implied by their usage.

  3. (-)Indicates no immediate prior population figure or rank
  4. Racial demographics not reported for places less than 1,000 on the 1970-90 censuses.
  5. X Indicates no change in rank
  6. With addition of "Hispanic" to census, which could also be a person of any race, both population totals and percentages will add up to more than the total population.
  7. From 2000 onwards, White population only reported on chart as "Non-Hispanic White/One Race", which will be less than the overall White population that would also include White Hispanics, which would be counted under Hispanic exclusively.
