## Notes
Total population data, "ddhca_t01001.csv", was used for this file. Fields in this file represent counts of specific ethnicities alone or in combination and do not include overarching categories like "East Asian alone or in any combination" or "Southeast Asian alone or in any combination".

For each county, the ten largest groups are included in the file, in addition to their rank within the county.

Per Census documentation, included in the file as "detailed-dhc-a-summary-file-technical-document.pdf", because of minimum population counts, not every county in New York will contain data or ten different population groups.
