Of the 155,433 citizens living in Madera County in 2019, 96.7 percent said they were only one race, while 3.3 percent said they were two or more races, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained in February.

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.
