Figure 13. Senate Districts implemented on April 22, 2002, with additional details on race and ethnicity. This table is similar to Figure 10 but contains additional demographic data about the districts depending on whether you are interested in counting Hispanics/Latinos as a race (which the state of New York does) or as an ethnicity of any race (as the Census Bureau and federal government does). The table also reports the size of the incarcerated Latino population in each Senate district.
