Overview

The map on the left is unique, in that it shows concentration of the ethnic groups by neighborhood (block groups) throughout Adams County.

Ethnic groups is defined as the major races in the U.S. plus hispanics (latinos) as a separately identifiable group. The only group that might be confusing is the group identified as "other". This group is defined based on the area of the country the county is located in. In most cases the group is associated with Asians, but can be interpreted as American Indian, Alaskan Native, or Pacific Islander. Use the associated reports for a more clear understanding of the definition of "Other" for this county. It is very important to understand that just because an area shows a majority of a ethnic groups it does not preclude the presents of other ethnic groups in that same area.

Below is a chart and report that shows how the county compares to the state it is located in and the nation.
