Country of Ancestry (First & Second
Ancestry Reported)
Orange County, 2000 & 1990 Census
Editor's Note Not every nationality is represented in the Census statistics below. Conspicuously missing
are
Hispanic or Latino, Native American or some Asian ancestries. These, however, are reflected in
other Census tables and Census does not seem to see it necessary to duplicate
those figures in this
table. Here they are included under "Other Ancestries."
For a breakdown of Hispanic and Latin American ancestry and origin, please
visit Hispanic or Latino Population. For
Native American visit American Indian & Alaska native Population.
For Asian origins, visit Asian Population.
