The Census Bureau has assigned all persons (including Hispanic persons) who specified their race as “other” on the census (1980, 1990, and 2000) to one of the OMB specified racial categories. The algorithm used by the Census Bureau to make these assignments has differed for the 1980, 1990, and 2000 censuses, and is described in the Population Data section. See also Population Revisions.
