*Data on race/ethnicity shown in tables previously produced by the Texas State Data
 Center were for four mutually exclusive groups which combined data on non-Hispanic
 and Hispanic persons by origin for all 63 racial groups included in the 2000 Census.
 The groups placed in each of these four categories are described in the State Data
 Center webpage item on comparing 1990 and 2000 data on race/ethnicity. In this and
 other tables produced from the SF1 files, data are shown for the predetermined (by
 the Census Bureau) categories of White Alone, Black Alone, American Indian or Alaskan
 Native Alone, Asian Alone, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander Alone, Some Other
 Race Alone, and Two or more races.  The data in these categories are not equivalent, 
 and cannot be made equivalent, to those provided previously by the Texas State Data
 Center or data for 1990.  In the tables from SF1 we have thus provided basic demographic
 values for the Texas population using the census categories of race and ethnicity to
 assist you in interpreting the data in the tables.  Users should be careful to not make
 direct comparisons between these data and those produced previously by the Texas State
 Data Center or those from the 1990 Census.
