NOTE: Data for 2021 are based on sample surveys of the entire population residing within the United States, including both noninstitutionalized persons (e.g., those living in households, college housing, or military housing located within the United States) and institutionalized persons (e.g., those living in prisons, nursing facilities, or other healthcare facilities), while data for 2000 are based on sample surveys of the population residing in individual housing units only. Caution should be used when comparing data between these two years. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
