**
The 2005 HCBS data consider Hispanic as a race, while the CCDE data use US Census definition and see Hispanic as ethnicity. Because there is no ethnicity definition and Black and Hispanic are mutually exclusive in 2005 HCBS data , we combined the Black and Hispanic as one race category in HCBS data, and use Black only in CCDE to compare race groups and make all the categories within the same population adding to 100%.
