Hello, I've been searching unsuccessfully for a resource that will give very specific definitions of fields. Below is just one example of the type of thing I'm trying to sort out.
Nothing adds up as expected (for example, if I have 7.7mm "white alone" and "6.0mm" "white alone, not hispanic" then I wouldn't expect the "Hispanic" to be as large as 3.9mm).
I'm sure it makes perfect sense but I can find anything that will explain how it does! Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks

I like the Subject Definitions document as a resource: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs/subject_definitions/2022_ACSSubjectDefinitions.pdf
To this specific question, White non-Hispanic + White Hispanic = White Alone, but the field here isn't White Hispanic, it's all Hispanic (which can include any race) so it adds up to more than the total White Alone.
Thanks Bernie - I'll check it out.
