¹ Included in the totals but not shown separately are estimates for persons from other racial/ethnic groups. NOTE: In 1992, the question on educational attainment was revised. Prior to 1992, a high school diploma meant completing 12 years of schooling; from 1992 onward, a high school diploma means a high school diploma or equivalency certificate. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. For more information on race/ethnicity and educational attainment, see Appendix C – Commonly Used Measures.
