Description

RACBLK is a bivariate indicator of whether a person's race or races include black, African-American, negro, or mulatto, regardless of what additional race(s) the person reported, if any. Thus, RACBLK denotes the population of people who are "Black alone or in combination."

Beginning in 2000, individuals were allowed to report multiple races, so RACBLK and the other bivariate race indicators (RACASIAN, RACAMIND, RACOTHER, RACPACIS, and RACWHT) are not mutually exclusive in 2000 and later years. The number of reported races is given in RACNUM.
