CP05 ACS DEMOGRAPHIC AND HOUSING ESTIMATES
2012 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates
Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Surveywebsite in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American CommunitySurvey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's PopulationEstimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns andestimates of housing units for states and counties.
An * indicates that the estimate is significantly different (at a 90% confidence level) than the estimate from the most current year. A "c" indicates theestimates for that year and the current year are both controlled; a statistical test is not appropriate.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability isrepresented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpretedroughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin oferror (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject tononsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in thesetables.
The 2008-2009 ACS one year estimates use controls that are based on Census 2000, while the 2010-2012 ACS one year estimates use controls thatare based on 2010 Census, which create differences in the population estimates. Therefore, estimates for 2008-2009 are suppressed in thiscomparison table and shown with an (X). For more details, visit the ACS Research Note Change in Population Controls [PDF 366K].
The ACS questions on Hispanic origin and race were revised in 2008 to make them consistent with the Census 2010 question wording. Any changesin estimates for 2008 and beyond may be due to demographic changes, as well as factors including questionnaire changes, differences in ACSpopulation controls, and methodological differences in the population estimates, and therefore should be used with caution. For a summary ofquestionnaire changes see http://www.census.gov/acs/www/methodology/questionnaire_changes/. For more information about changes in theestimates see http://www.census.gov/population/hispanic/files/acs08researchnote.pdf.

While the 2012 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions ofmetropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables maydiffer from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data.Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarilyreflect the results of ongoing urbanization.

Explanation of Symbols:
1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available tocompute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate. 2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute anestimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of anopen-ended distribution. 3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution. 4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. 5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. Astatistical test is not appropriate. 6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate. 7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number ofsample cases is too small. 8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability isrepresented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpretedroughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin oferror (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject tononsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in thesetables.
Ancestry listed in this table refers to the total number of people who responded with a particular ancestry; for example, the estimate given for Russianrepresents the number of people who listed Russian as either their first or second ancestry. This table lists only the largest ancestry groups; see theDetailed Tables for more categories. Race and Hispanic origin groups are not included in this table because official data for those groups come fromthe Race and Hispanic origin questions rather than the ancestry question (see Demographic Table).
Data for year of entry of the native population reflect the year of entry into the U.S. by people who were born in Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Areas or bornoutside the U.S. to a U.S. citizen parent and who subsequently moved to the U.S.
Selected migration data are not available for certain geographic areas due to problems with group quarters data collection and imputation. See ErrataNote #44 for details.
Fertility data are not available for certain geographic areas due to problems with data collection. See Errate Note #92 for details.
The Census Bureau introduced a new set of disability questions in the 2008 ACS questionnaire. Accordingly, comparisons of disability data from 2008or later with data from prior years are not recommended. For more information on these questions and their evaluation in the 2006 ACS Content Test,see the Evaluation Report Covering Disability.
While the 2012 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions ofmetropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables maydiffer from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data.Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarilyreflect the results of ongoing urbanization.

1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available tocompute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate. 2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute anestimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of anopen-ended distribution. 3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution. 4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. 5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. Astatistical test is not appropriate. 6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate. 7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number ofsample cases is too small. 8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.

Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Surveywebsite in the Data and Documentation section.
Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American CommunitySurvey website in the Methodology section.
Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's PopulationEstimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns andestimates of housing units for states and counties.
An * indicates that the estimate is significantly different (at a 90% confidence level) than the estimate from the most current year. A "c" indicates theestimates for that year and the current year are both controlled; a statistical test is not appropriate.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability isrepresented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpretedroughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin oferror (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject tononsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in thesetables.
The methodology for calculating median income and median earnings changed between 2008 and 2009. Medians over $75,000 were most likelyaffected. The underlying income and earning distribution now uses $2,500 increments up to $250,000 for households, non-family households, families,and individuals and employs a linear interpolation method for median calculations. Before 2009 the highest income category was $200,000 forhouseholds, families and non-family households ($100,000 for individuals) and portions of the income and earnings distribution contained intervalswider than $2,500. Those cases used a Pareto Interpolation Method.
There were changes in the edit between 2009 and 2010 regarding Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security. The changes in the editloosened restrictions on disability requirements for receipt of SSI resulting in an increase in the total number of SSI recipients in the AmericanCommunity Survey. The changes also loosened restrictions on possible reported monthly amounts in Social Security income resulting in higher SocialSecurity aggregate amounts. These results more closely match administrative counts compiled by the Social Security Administration.
Employment and unemployment estimates may vary from the official labor force data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics because ofdifferences in survey design and data collection. For guidance on differences in employment and unemployment estimates from different sources goto Labor Force Guidance.
The Census Bureau introduced an improved sequence of labor force questions in the 2008 ACS questionnaire. Accordingly, we recommend usingcaution when making labor force data comparisons from 2008 or later with data from prior years. For more information on these questions and theirevaluation in the 2006 ACS Content Test, see the "Evaluation Report Covering Employment Status" athttp://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/methodology/content_test/P6a_Employment_Status.pdf, and the "Evaluation Report Covering WeeksWorked" at http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/methodology/content_test/P6b_Weeks_Worked_Final_Report.pdf. Additional information canalso be found at http://www.census.gov/people/laborforce/.
Workers include members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work last week.
Industry codes are 4-digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2007. The Industry categories adhere to theguidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAICS Alternate Aggregation Structure for Use By U.S. Statistical Agencies," issued by theOffice of Management and Budget.
Census occupation codes for 2010 and later years are based on the 2010 revision of the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). Occupationdata from 2010 and later years are not strictly comparable to data from prior to 2010. For more information on the Census occupation code changes,please visit our website at http://www.census.gov/people/io/methodology/indexes.html.
Logical coverage edits applying a rules-based assignment of Medicaid, Medicare and military health coverage were added as of 2009 -- please seehttp://www.census.gov/hhes/www/hlthins/publications/coverage_edits_final.pdf for more details. The corresponding 2008 data table in AmericanFactFinder does not incorporate these edits and is therefore not comparable to this table in 2009, 2010, 2011, or 2012. Select geographies of 2008data comparable to the 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 tables are accessible at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/hlthins/data/acs/2008/re-run.html.
The health insurance coverage category names were modified in 2010. See ACS Health Insurance Definitions for a list of the insurance typedefinitions.
While the 2012 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions ofmetropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables maydiffer from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data.Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarilyreflect the results of ongoing urbanization.

Explanation of Symbols:
1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available tocompute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate. 2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute anestimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of anopen-ended distribution. 3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution. 4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. 5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. Astatistical test is not appropriate. 6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate. 7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number ofsample cases is too small. 8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.

Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's PopulationEstimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns andestimates of housing units for states and counties.
An * indicates that the estimate is significantly different (at a 90% confidence level) than the estimate from the most current year. A "c" indicates theestimates for that year and the current year are both controlled; a statistical test is not appropriate.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability isrepresented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpretedroughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin oferror (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject tononsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in thesetables.
The median gross rent excludes no cash renters.
In prior years, the universe included all owner-occupied units with a mortgage. It is now restricted to include only those units where SMOCAPI iscomputed, that is, SMOC and household income are valid values.

The 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 plumbing data for Puerto Rico will not be shown. Research indicates that the questions on plumbing facilities thatwere introduced in 2008 in the stateside American Community Survey and the 2008 Puerto Rico Community Survey may not have been appropriatefor Puerto Rico.
Median calculations for base table sourcing VAL, MHC, SMOC, and TAX should exclude zero values.
Telephone service data are not available for certain geographic areas due to problems with data collection. See Errata Note #93 for details.
While the 2012 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the December 2009 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions ofmetropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables maydiffer from the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data.Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarilyreflect the results of ongoing urbanization.

Explanation of Symbols:
1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available tocompute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate. 2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute anestimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of anopen-ended distribution. 3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution. 4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. 5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. Astatistical test is not appropriate.
8 of 9 09/19/2013
6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate. 7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number ofsample cases is too small. 8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.
