Note: The Census Bureau cautions that there is “uncertainty with all estimates in this program,” and suggests that anyone seeking to compare estimates should first see the Bureau’s General Cautions page.

*The Census Bureau defines a confidence interval as “a range of values that, with some level of certainty, contains the true value the estimate is approximating.” See A Basic Explanation of Confidence Intervals for more details about confidence intervals.
