In 2000, there were significant race/ethnicity differences between the U.S. and Arizona (Figure 3). Arizona had fewer Whites, Blacks, and Asian Americans than the U.S. ratios, but more Hispanics and American Indians. The Hispanics (25.3%) and American Indian (5.0%) populations are the two largest minority populations in the state. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of Whites and American Indians decreased while Hispanic, Black and Asian American populations increased (Figure 4). Table 4a and Table 4b present the race/ethnicity distribution for Arizona, its 15 counties, and communities in 2000.
