NOTE: Some data have been revised from previously published
figures. Data by age are based on the distribution by age
from the Bureau of the Census. Data for 1999 were imputed
using alternative procedures. (See Appendix E for more details.)
Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding. Mean absolute
percentage errors of selected education statistics can be
found in table A2.
