!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.
1Data for years prior to 1992 are for persons with 4 or more years of high school. Data for later years are for high school completers--i.e., an individual who has completed a high school diploma or an equivalency credential, such as a GED.
2Estimates based on Census Bureau reverse projection of 1940 census data on education by age.
3Includes persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
4Data for years prior to 1992 are for persons with 4 or more years of college.
5Rounds to 100.
NOTE: Data are weighted estimates of the population. For 1960 and prior years, data were collected in April. For later years, data were collected in March. Data are based on sample surveys of the noninstitutionalized population, which excludes persons living in institutions (e.g., prisons or nursing facilities); data include military personnel who live in households with civilians, but exclude those who live in military barracks. Prior to 2005, standard errors were computed using generalized variance function methodology rather than the more precise replicate weight methodology used in later years. Caution should be used when comparing 2020, 2021, and 2022 estimates to those of other years due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on interviewing and response rates. For additional information about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Current Population Survey data collection, please see https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/techdocs/cpsmar24.pdf. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity except where otherwise noted. Black includes African American, Hispanic includes Latino, and Pacific Islander includes Native Hawaiian.
