3) Are there differences in rates of race known across county population sizes?
Presented in Table 3 are the rates of race known prior to a stop organized according to the
population size of the county in which the agency conducted the stop. The profiles for each
population category are defined below; specifically, the first column provides how many of the
counties analyzed in this study fall into a given population bracket as well as how many of the
law enforcement agencies are in the corresponding county. The findings show that race continues
to typically be unknown and does not differ depending on county population size. As reported44
