Of the 15,726 citizens living in Washburn County in 2020, 97.8 percent said they were only one race, while 2.2 percent said they were two or more races, according to U.S. Census Bureau data obtained in March.

Data for this story was compiled from the bureau’s American Community Survey. Information from the survey helps to determine how federal and state funds are distributed.
