! Interpret data with caution.

¹ Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. For the 9-month estimates, race/ethnicity was determined by information collected at the 9-month round (X1CHRACE); for the 2-year estimates, race/ethnicity was determined by information collected at the 2-year round (X2CHRACE), and for the 4-year estimates, race/ethnicity was determined by information collected at the preschool round (X3CHRACE).

NOTE: Estimates weighted by W1R0 for children at about 9 months of age, by W2R0 for children at about 2 years of age, and by W3R0 for children at about 4 years of age. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and suppression of cells that do not meet standards.
