| \1\Totals differ from those shown in other tables. This table presents data collected in sample surveys of households rather than surveys
of institutions. Excludes persons age 35 and over.
\2\Data for 1984 to 1993 are controlled to 1980 census base. \3\Data are controlled to 1990 census base. Large increase in 1994 is partly due to the change in census base and change in survey form administration procedures. \4\Data for 1965 and 1970 include persons of Hispanic origin. ---Data not available. NOTE.--Data are based upon sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutional population. Because of rounding, details may not add to totals.
