How will race/ethnicity data be reported to the federal government?
Respondents who indicate that they are Hispanic/Latino will be reported to the federal government as Hispanic/Latino, regardless of their race. Respondents who check “No” to the Hispanic/Latino question and select one racial category will be reported in that category. Respondents who check “No” to the Hispanic/Latino question and select more than one racial category will be reported to the federal government as “two or more races.” Given these reporting rules, it is likely that the number of individuals being reported as Hispanic/Latino will increase, and the reported numbers of all other race‐specific categories will decrease.
