White alone, percent definition and source info White alone, percent, 2012 (a) 77.9%
Black or African American alone, percent definition and source info Black or African American alone, percent, 2012 (a) 13.1%
American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent definition and source info American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent, 2012 (a) 1.2%
Asian alone, percent definition and source info Asian alone, percent, 2012 (a) 5.1%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, percent definition and source info Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, percent, 2012 (a) 0.2%
Two or More Races, percent definition and source info Two or More Races, percent, 2012 2.4%
Hispanic or Latino, percent definition and source info Hispanic or Latino, percent, 2012 (b) 16.9%
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent definition and source info White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent, 2012 63.0%


But that's confusing as the top number has white alone at 78% but the bottom number has white alone at 63%.

The 63% number is much more in line with what I've been hearing for years. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/percentage-non-hispanic-whites-hits-all-time-63-article-1.1371772
