Data Notes
Persons in race categories are only those who selected a single race.
The ACS 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 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.
The percentage of persons living in households whose income is at or below the federal poverty threshold.
How We Calculated the Rates
