Demographic data comes from the US Census Bureau Pulic Law 94-171 tables from the 2000 Census. Data for Multiple Race responses has been aggregated according to Department of Justice “Part XV Guidance Concerning Redistricting and Retrogression Under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 1973c; Notice” from Part II of OMB Bulletin 00-02.
