Issue
A labeling error was found in various ethnic origin data products released on October 25, 2017. In these data products, the labels for 'Samoan' and 'Polynesian, n.o.s.' were reversed. As a result, the cell counts associated with these labels were incorrect.
Resolution
The labels have been corrected and reloaded (HTML view). New download files have also been generated and loaded.
