Black people who reported more than one race grew at a much faster rate from 2000 to 2010 than those who listed themselves as black-only.
The black-white multiracial population showed the highest increase of any multirace combination, jumping more than 133% to 1.8 million from 2000 to 2010, the Census Bureau reported Thursday. People who say they are black and white make up 59% of the USA's 3.1million multiracial blacks, up from 45% in 2000. The nation's black population stands at 42 million.
