DP02 SELECTED SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS IN THE UNITED STATES

2010-2014 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates

Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey

website in the Data and Documentation section.

Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community

Survey website in the Methodology section.

Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's Population

Estimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns and

estimates of housing units for states and counties.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is

represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted

roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of

error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to

nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these

tables.

Fertility data are not available for certain geographic areas due to problems with data collection. See Errata Note #92 for details.

Methodological changes to data collection in 2013 may have affected language data for 2013. Users should be aware of these changes when using

multi-year data containing data from 2013.

The Census Bureau introduced a new set of disability questions in the 2008 ACS questionnaire. Accordingly, comparisons of disability data from 2008

or later with data from prior years are not recommended. For more information on these questions and their evaluation in the 2006 ACS Content Test,

see the Evaluation Report Covering Disability.

While the 2010-2014 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the February 2013 Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

definitions of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in

ACS tables may differ from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.

Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2010 data. As

a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.

Explanation of Symbols:

 1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to

compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.

 2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an

estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an

open-ended distribution.

 3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.

 4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.

 5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A

statistical test is not appropriate.

 6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.

 7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of

sample cases is too small.

 8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.
