Census Bureau: 3% of people in Oneida County identified as multi-racial in 2019

Medium names 15

Of the 229,959 citizens living in Oneida County in 2019, 97 percent said they were only one race, while three percent said they were two or more races, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained in January.

Of those who said they were one race, the majority identified as white.

An agency of the U.S. Federal Statistical System, the Census Bureau is responsible for compiling statistical facts about the American people, places and economy. Data for this story was compiled from the bureau’s American Community Survey. Information from the survey helps to determine how federal and state funds are distributed.

Statistical data for 2020 will be released later this year.
