Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes. The U.S. Census Bureau does not recommend comparing overlapping 5-year periods since much of the data in each estimate are the same. Use caution when comparing estimates for census tracts over time as these geographies are redefined with each decennial census according to population changes.
