Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.52% of the population.

Emergency services
Because Black Eagle is not an incorporated city, it does not have the same levels of emergency services as the neighboring city of Great Falls.
Law enforcement services are handled by the Cascade County Sheriff's office, with the exception of motor vehicle accidents which are handled by the Montana Highway Patrol. The Cascade County Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement services via 36 uniformed deputy sheriffs.
Emergency medical services are contracted by Cascade County from Great Falls Emergency Services, a private for-profit Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance service located in Great Falls.
In 2004 a new Emergency Medical Services unit was added to Black Eagle. Funded by Cascade County Disaster and Emergency Services (DES), a Quick Response Unit composed of volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) was started. To date[when?] they have assisted in over 1000 calls for service. Currently the Black Eagle Quick Response Unit has 3 active EMTs.
Fire protection within Black Eagle was provided by Great Falls Fire/Rescue by contract until 1972, when the community decided to drop the fire protection agreement with Great Falls and instead use the taxes that paid for that protection to form a volunteer fire department. The department started with a one-stall garage to house a single pumper truck but has grown to a fleet of five fire trucks, including a 1991 KME 1250 GPM Structure Pumper, a 1971 Superior Fire Apparatus 1000 GPM Structure Pumper, a 2010 Ford F350 Brush Truck, a 2005 Ford F550 Light Rescue Unit, and a 1998 International Water Tender. The department is operating out of a three-garage bay station complete with a kitchen and training area. Currently the fire department operates on a budget of around $120,000 dollars a year, protecting 170 square miles (440 km2) of districts. The fire department currently has 31 active members and responds to approximately 245 calls for service. In 2011, due to the low number of active Quick Response Units, the Black Eagle Volunteer Fire Department Began to respond to all medical emergencies as automatic mutual aid to the local QRU unit and the ambulance. In 2015, The Black Eagle Volunteer Fire Department applied for with the state of Montana and was granted a medical Non-Transport License. Effectively this allowed Black Eagle Fire to become and Emergency Care Provider. Seven of the department's members hold certifications of EMR or higher. The current Fire Chief is Tom Martin who has held the position for 7 years and is a 25-year veteran of the fire department.
