Census Bureau: 7% of people in Arizona identified as multi-racial in 2020

Names 7

Of the 7,174,064 citizens living in Arizona in 2020, 93 percent said they were only one race, while seven percent said they were two or more races, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained in April.

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.
