I love this data essay by some of my @pewresearch.org colleagues looking at how the ways that the U.S. Census has measured race and ethnicity have changed over the country's history and how they're poised to change again in 2030.
Counting Race: How the Census Measures Identity and What Americans Think About It
How the U.S. government measures race has changed substantially since censuses began in 1790. Today, Americans differ on whether the government should ask about race.

In our charts, we sometimes illustrate the margin of error through error bars, also called confidence intervals. But what do they mean? How should they be interpreted?

Here are some answers to common questions that might help you better understand charts with error bars.
Understanding error bars in charts
Error bars illustrate the margin of error for a survey estimate by showing how precise that estimate is. Here are some answers to common questions that might help you better understand charts with error bars.
