Therefore, the examination of data from the 2000 and 2010 censuses provides the first comparisons on multiple-race combinations in the United States. An effective way to compare the multiple-race data is to examine changes in specific combinations, such as white and black, white and Asian, or black and Asian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese comparisons show substantial growth in the multiple-race population, providing detailed insights to how this population has grown and diversified over the past decade,\u201d said Nicholas Jones, chief of the U.S. Census Bureau&#8217;s Racial Statistics Branch&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire news release <a href=\"http:\/\/www.census.gov\/newsroom\/releases\/archives\/race\/cb12-182.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2010 Census Shows Multiple-Race Population Grew Faster Than Single-Race Population United States Census Bureau New Releases News Release: CB12-182 2012-09-27 The 2010 Census showed that people who reported multiple races grew by a larger percentage than those reporting a single race.
