This chart gives the details of reported hair color and eye color among
Sotos individuals. As is easily seen, the incidence of blonde hair and blue
or hazel eyes is much higher than the norm (for the United States).
What is not known are the eye and hair colors of the parents.
(This will be asked in the next survey.)
