This table lists some major demographic groupings in the United States. Race, gender, ethnicity, religion, and other factors are factors in personal and group identity. This table is unusual in that it presents a merged list of these factors. This more accurately reflects actual American society, in which most people belong to more than one group. All individuals can be classified into multiple groupings below. This list is not comprehensive. Please write to suggest additional groups.

i find it interesting that if you take away all the churches and religions and denominations, so many of the listings toward the bottom are the ones we hear about the most. it seems like the lower they are on the list, the louder their voice.
