In some counties not all race groups will be reported separately. For population of less than 250 for any race group, the population by age will be reported within the other category and the "group n" for the other category show a number larger than 1 indicating that the other category includes population from other race groups that are separately reported for other counties. For this reason, users should take care in aggregating race group population across counties.
