2000 Census information on same-sex couples, Summary File 2
Total by highest percentage

The U.S. Census Bureau has begun to release the statistics of Summary File 2, which includes 250 population groups: the Population, 132 race groups, 78 American Indian and Alaska Native tribe categories (reflecting 39 individual tribes), and 39 Hispanic or Latino groups.

As it relates to same-sex partners, SF 2 is of limited value, since it only includes the race group of the main householder. The race group or origin of the partner of the main householder is not indicated. Hence, it is impossible to determine how many of these couples are of the same race group or origin, or interracial.
