Weird Demographics

Errr.. the article gives these figures for census breakdown in 2010:

As of the 2010 census [4] the population of the village was 85.3% White 77.7% Non-Hispanic White, 3.7% African American, 0.1% Native American, 4.5% Asian, 4.3% from other races, and 2.1% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 13% of the population.

This adds up to 181.4%. Is it possible there's an error here? (Looking for an obvious error, like inputting of too many "7"'s)Even if "other white" is adjusted to 7.7%, it still sums to more than 100%. AgProv (talk) 22:17, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article mentions Lynbrook, CA, yet I can't find anything online that says such a place actually exists...

It does not appear to now. Propose to clear this comment and the one above. MKoltnow 01:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the following.

I removed the following paragraph-

“

is frequently called "Lynbrook, U.S.A.", in the belief that there is no other town in the United States with the same name. There is another place in Fairfax County, Virginia with the same name, according to the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Go to: http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/f?p=gnispq:3:140865077567707::NO::P3_FID:1493240 [1] Actually, the GNIS link is for an elementary school called "Lynbrook Elementary", located in Springfield VA. Lynbrook is not the name of that town.

”

This looked like a disagreement in the middle of the article. Also there is no source that it is frequently called Lynbrook U.S.A.--BeckiGreen (talk) 16:18, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
