Census Bureau: 4.2% of people in Haverstraw identified as multi-racial in 2019

Medium names 15

Of the 12,065 citizens living in Haverstraw in 2019, 95.8 percent said they were only one race, while 4.2 percent said they were two or more races, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained in January.

Of those who said they were one race, the majority identified as belonging to a race that the U.S. Census Bureau's data did not name.

An agency of the U.S. Federal Statistical System, the Census Bureau is responsible for compiling statistical facts about the American people, places and economy. 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.

Statistical data for 2020 will be released later this year.
