Notes: The underlying ethnicity data from the California Research Bureau defines “multi-racial” as legislators with parents of two different non-white ethnicities. Legislators with one white parent and one non-white parent are categorized as the non-white ethnicity. Census racial/ethnicity definitions vary from this definition. "Landlord" includes any lawmaker who personally owns, or whose family owns, a residential property from which they derive rental income. Data limitations may mean some legislators who receive rental income from commercial properties are included here. Mistakes? Email: [email protected]
