NOTE: Some data have been revised from previously published
figures. Data for 2006 and 2011 are projected. 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.
