Posteriormente, os censos não incluem informação que se refira a origem, com exceção dos estrangeiros. Em 1996- 1997 a Pesquisa de Lares solicitou a auto-declaração de “raça”, e em 2006, da ancestralidade. A primeira revela que 5,9 % da população se considerava “negra ou variáveis de mestiçagem com negros”, e 0,4 %, indígena ou variáveis de mestiçagem com indígenas, enquanto que para a ancestralidade os valores subiam a 9,1 % e 4,5 % respectivamente. Os dados genéticos mostram aportes genéticos de 6% africano e 10% indígena, enquanto que a ancestralidade materna eleva estes valores a 10% e 31% respectivamente. Se discutem os dados censitários e genéticos no marco da identidade nacional. Indígenas, africanos y europeos conformaron, con aportes desiguales, la población uruguaya.

Los datos genéticos muestran aportes genéticos de 6% africano y 10% indígena, mientras que la ancestría materna sube estos valores a 10% y 31% respectivamente. Se discuten los datos censales y genéticos en el marco de la identidad nacional.
