  • GEONAME: The name of the geographic area, like "United States", "New Hampshire", or "Houghton County, Michigan"
  • LNTITLE: The description of the line, such as "Not Hispanic or Latino" or "Asian and White". Note that the race groups under "Not Hispanic or Latino" only include people who are not Hispanic or Latino, so "Asian and White" includes non-Hispanic Asians and Whites.
