Multiracial Population, 2000 (8/8)

The 2000 U.S. Census allowed people to select multiple races. Around 2.4 percent of surveyed Americans identified themselves as of multiracial. Roughly one-fifth of the people who selected multiple races were Hispanics, reflecting a different conception of "race" among Hispanics.
Multiracial Americans live in a handful of areas - notably, Hawaii, California, Alaska, and Oklahoma, but race combinations are quite distinct.(Source: www.CensusScope.org)
