Notes

When selecting more than one component from the same geographical level, Social Explorer provides a total for these components in the "All Selected Geographies" column. This total is for the available geographies only within the same geographical level. When a value is missing from one or more components from the same geographical level, Social Explorer denotes it with an asterisk (*) in the All Selected Geographies column.

All counts in census tabulations are subjected to random rounding. Random rounding transforms all raw counts to random rounded counts. This reduces the possibility of identifying individuals within the tabulations.

All counts are rounded to a base of 5, meaning they will end in either 0 or 5. the random rounding algorithm employed controls the results and rounds the unit value of the count according to a predetermined frequency. Note that counts ending in 0 or 5 are not changed and remain as 0 or 5.

Due to rounding, sub-groups may not sum to the total population of that group.
