| 3 Householders are persons in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented. Never-married students living away from home in college dormitories are not considered householders. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| NOTE: Students were classified as full time if they were taking at least 12 hours of classes during an average school week and as part time if they were taking fewer hours. Data are based on sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutionalized population, which excludes persons in the military and persons living in institutions (e.g., prisons or nursing facilities). Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
