‡Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater. | !Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 and 50 percent. | 1 Determined by the federal government, the poverty threshold is the income necessary to meet the household's needs, given its size and composition. Income is collected in categories in the survey, rather than as an exact amount, and therefore the poverty measures used in this table are approximations of poverty.
