The minority (Blacks, Asian, American Indian and Hispanic) composition of individual census tracts by race for the years 1990 and 2000 in the City of Cuyahoga Falls is shown in Table 4. Corresponding maps are provided for comparison purposes. Although the White population continues to be the dominant race category within the City of Cuyahoga Falls, the minority population represents approximately 3.8% of the total population in 2000. Blacks are by far the largest minority population at 1.9 %. However, it should be noted that when there is discussion regarding a percentage increase or decrease in the minority population, a comparison should be made to the actual number of the population in question rather than the percentage increase itself. For example, although a population of Blacks that number 10 in 1990 and increases to 20 in 2000 is a 100% increase and sounds high, however, it is only a growth of 10 persons. 5 http: / /dmoz.org /Regional/ North_ America / United_ States / Ohio /Localities /C /Cuyahoga_Falls
