Of the 133,009 citizens living in Cambria County in 2019, 97.9 percent said they were only one race, while 2.1 percent said they were two or more races, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained in January.

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.
