Technical note: Values for the different regions and subgroups which may be statistically unstable and should be interpreted with caution are noted as such. If you don't see a value for a region or a subgroup (broken down by gender, age, education level, federal poverty level, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation), it is because the value has been suppressed due to statistical unreliability.
