What this broad group covers
ASCCEG broad groups are the top layer of the cultural and ethnic group hierarchy. They are used when a response still needs to be placed into the correct major branch before coding can move to a more specific level.
In practical coding work, broad groups are not usually the stopping point. They are the orientation layer above narrow groups and the detailed four-digit group codes.
