NOTE: The 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) includes noninstitutionalized and institutionalized group quarters. Due to this and other methodological differences between the Current Population Survey (CPS) and ACS, enrollment estimates from the two surveys are not directly comparable. For more information on the ACS, see Appendix B – Guide to Sources.Totals include other race/ethnicity categories not shown separately. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. For more information on race/ethnicity and region, see Appendix C – Commonly Used Measures.
