!Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 and 50 percent.

1 Percentages for each type of schooling may sum to more than 100 percent because respondents could report having multiple children enrolled in different types of schooling.

2 Includes persons reporting Pacific Islander alone, persons reporting American Indian/Alaska Native alone, and persons of Two or more races.

3 High school completers include those with a high school diploma as well as those with an alternative credential, such as a GED.

NOTE: Data in this table are considered experimental and do not meet National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) standards for response rates. The 2021 Household Pulse Survey, an experimental data product, is an Interagency Federal Statistical Rapid Response Survey to Measure Household Experiences during the coronavirus pandemic, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in partnership with 16 other federal agencies and offices. The number of respondents and response rate for the period reported in this table are 69,114 and 6.6 percent. The final weights are designed to produce estimates for the total persons age 18 and older living within housing units. These weights were created by adjusting the household level sampling base weights by various factors to account for nonresponse, adults per household, and coverage.
