  1 Because of the aging of the population, there are no longer any Vietnam-era veterans under 35 years of age or any
other war veterans under 55 years of age.
  2 Data not shown where base is less than 75,000.
    NOTE:   Male veterans are men who served in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam era, the Korean war, World Wars I
and II, and all other service periods. Nonveterans are men who have never served in the Armed Forces. Information on
specific periods of service appears in the Technical Note of this release.  Detail for the above race and
Hispanic-origin groups will not sum to totals because data for the "other races" group are not presented and
Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

    NOTE: Male veterans are men who served in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam era, the Korean war, World Wars I and II, and
all other service periods. Nonveterans are men who have never served in the Armed Forces. Information on specific periods of
service appears in the Technical Note of this release.  A service-connected disability is a health condition or impairment
caused or made worse by military service.  The associated disability rating, which can range from 0 to 100 percent, is
determined from a rating schedule published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, "Title 38." Additional information on
periods of service and service-connected disability ratings appears in the Technical Note of this release.  Dash represnets

  1 Includes veterans who did not report presence of disability.
    NOTE:   Male veterans are men who served in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam era, the Korean war, World Wars I and II, and
all other service periods. Nonveterans are men who have never served in the Armed Forces. Information on specific periods of
service appears in the Technical Note of this release.  A service-connected disability is a health condition or impairment caused
or made worse by military service.  The associated disability rating, which can range from 0 to 100 percent, is determined from a
rating schedule published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, "Title 38." Additional information on periods of service and
service-connected disability ratings also appears in the Technical Note of this release.

all other service periods. Nonveterans are men who have never served in the Armed Forces. Information on specific periods of
service appears in the Technical Note of this release.  A service-connected disability is a health condition or impairment caused
or made worse by military service.  The associated disability rating, which can range from 0 to 100 percent, is determined from a
rating schedule published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, "Title 38." Additional information on periods of service and
service-connected disability ratings also appears in the Technical Note of this release.

  1  Because of the aging of the population, there are no longer any Vietnam-era veterans under 35 years of age or any other war
veterans under 55 years of age.
  2  Data not shown where base is less than 75,000.
   NOTE:    Female veterans are women who served in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam era, the Korean war, World Wars I and II,
and all other service periods. Nonveterans are women who have never served in the Armed Forces. Information on specific periods of
service appears in the Technical Note of this release.  A service-connected disability is a health condition or impairment caused
or made worse by military service.  The associated disability rating, which can range from 0 to 100 percent, is determined from a
rating schedule published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, "Title 38." Additional information on periods of service and
service-connected disability ratings also appears in the Technical Note of this release.
