Less than 12 percent of the population is <br />considered Hispanic/Other. Of the Non -Hispanic population, more than 77 percent are White, <br />and less than 9 percent are Black. Indian River County has relatively fewer Hispanic and <br />Black residents compared to the statewide average and neighboring St. Lucie County. The <br />race and ethnic characteristics of Indian River County are somewhat similar to Brevard <br />County. <br />An understanding of race and ethnic characteristics can be useful to a transit agency in <br />identifying the appropriate format and media for public outreach and communication <br />activities. Additionally, minority populations generally represent a higher percentage of <br />transit users in the Unites States. <br />HE <br />k'40 ; <br />Uta Stanley Consultants -, <br />
