D = suppressed to avoid disclosure of confidential information. S = suppressed for reliability; coefficient of variation exceeds publication standards. SE = standard error. |
NOTES: Numbers are rounded to nearest 100. Standard errors are rounded up to the nearest 50. Detail may not add to total because of rounding. Because survey sample design does not include geography, the reliability of estimates in some states may be poor due to small sample size. |
