Of the 58,464 citizens living in Kenai Peninsula Borough in 2019, 94.3 percent said they were only one race, while 5.7 percent said they were two or more races, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained in February.

An agency of the U.S. Federal Statistical System, the Census Bureau is responsible for compiling statistical facts about the American people, places and economy. 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.
