Of the 20,793 citizens living in La Paz County in 2019, 97.2 percent said they were only one race, while 2.8 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.

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.
