Footnotes: There is no agreement about the specific terminology or the number of categories that should be used to classify race and ethnicity. Various sources use different titles to report racial characteristics. Persons within each race of ethnicity are encouraged to re-title or refer to the data in a manner which reflects their preferences. This population data is estimated based on samples by the U.S. Bureau of the Census for each year. Numbers and rates may differ from an earlier Oklahoma KIDS COUNT Factbook due to the availability of updated Census population estimates.
