!Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is between 30 and 50 percent.
‡Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater.
1Total includes other racial/ethnic groups not shown separately.
NOTE: Data are based on sample surveys of the entire population residing within the United States, including those living in group quarters (e.g., shelters, healthcare facilities, or correctional facilities). Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. This table has been revised to include data on 3- to 5-year-old children while previous versions of the table only included data on 3- and 4-year-old children. Comparisons should not be drawn between this table and previous versions of the table.
