Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
1

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
1

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.

An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
1

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
1

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. A statistical test is not appropriate.

Margin of
Error1

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
1

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.
1

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. A statistical test is not appropriate.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.
2

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. A statistical test is not appropriate.

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. 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 is represented 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 interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the
estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS
estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

N.E.C. stands for not elsewhere classified. These are languages where respondents indicated they spoke either INDIAN or PAKISTAN. For Indian, it cannot be determined if the
respondent spoke a native American language or spoke a language from India. For Pakistan, respondents wrote in Pakistan but it cannot be determined which one of the languages
spoken in Pakistan is actually being spoken. To distinguish these languages, n.e.c. is used to indicated they are not classified in any other language code.
An (B) entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate.
An(X) entry in any column indicates that the question does not apply.

An-- entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of
error. A statistical test is not appropriate.
