\1\Based on the April 1960 decennial census.
\2\White and black include persons of Hispanic origin. \3\Because of changes in data collection procedures, data may not be comparable with figures for earlier years. ---Data not available. NOTE.--"Status" dropouts are 16- to 24-year-olds who are not enrolled in school and who have not completed a high school program regardless of when they left school. People who have received GED credentials are counted as high school completers. All data except for 1960 are based on October counts. Data are based upon sample surveys of the civilian noninstitutional population. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
