| Notes: | Population values shown in this table are derived from the CPS sample, and may not match independently ~ derived estimates of the population. See "State and Metropolitan Area Populations," in appendix A for more information. |
| Because of rounding, details may not add to totals. Standard errors appear in parentheses. | |
| [1] | The value of 1.6 times the standard error [1.6*(s.e.)], added to and subtracted from the estimated percentage, yields the 90 ~ percent confidence interval. For further details of calculation and interpretation, see appendix B, Source and Accuracy of the Estimates. |
