Census Bureau: 10.8% of people in Yuma County identified as multi-racial in 2020

Names 10

Of the 211,931 citizens living in Yuma County in 2020, 89.2 percent said they were only one race, while 10.8 percent said they were two or more races, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained in March.

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 2021 will be released later this year.
