NOTES:

#1 The "NH" in the category list indicates that "Hispanics" have been subtracted from the totals, so that the population listed is "Non-Hispanic" (NH).

#2 The category "ASIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER" includes "Hispanic Origin" so that there is a slight over count in the totals; however, no serious distortion exists (-1%).

#3 The category "Hispanic Origin" includes people of all races.

#4 The Total Population given in the "TOTALS" column is the accurate total for L.A. and Orange counties according to the 1990 Census; however, our definition of GLAMA only includes part of L.A. County. Therefore, these figures may not agree with totals given on other graphics in this Resource Directory that use totals for GLAMA.
