Middle Eastern or North African

The Census Bureau follows current U.S. government standards that officially categorize people of Middle Eastern or North African descent as white, but the White House’s Office of Management and Budget is considering creating a separate category next year.

Notes

— These groups include responses that people reported as a single answer or in combination with other responses.
— †This group could include “Middle Eastern,” “Middle Eastern or North African,” “North African” and responses that could not be matched to the Census Bureau’s public list of official categories.
