---Not available. †Not applicable. \1\Data collected using new procedures. May not be comparable with figures prior to 1994. \2\Enrollment data include only those students in preprimary programs. NOTE: Data are based on sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutional population. Although cells with fewer than 75,000 children are subject to wide sampling variation, they are included in the table to permit various types of aggregations. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
