The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is representedthrough 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 90percent 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 confidencebounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsamplingvariability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Notes:·Ancestry listed in this table refers to the total number of people who responded with a particular ancestry; for example, the estimate given for Russianrepresents the number of people who listed Russian as either their first or second ancestry. This table lists only the largest ancestry groups; see the DetailedTables for more categories. Race and Hispanic origin groups are not included in this table because official data for those groups come from the Race andHispanic origin questions rather than the ancestry question (see Demographic Table).·The Census Bureau introduced a new set of disability questions in the 2008 ACS questionnaire. Because of contextual differences between the 2008-2009disability data and disability data collected in prior years, the Census Bureau is unable to combine the 5 years of disability data in order to produce themulti-year estimate that would appear in this table. Multi-year estimates of disability status will become available once five consecutive years of data arecollected. For more information about the differences between the 2008 and prior years' disability questions, see Review of Changes to the Measurement ofDisability in the 2008 ACS·Data for yea

4 r of entry of the native population refl
r of entry of the native population reflect the year of entry into the U.S. by people who were born in Puerto Rico, U.S. Island Areas or born outsidethe U.S. to a U.S. citizen parent and who subsequently moved to the U.S.·While the 2005-2009 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the November 2008 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) definitions ofmetropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas; in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differfrom the OMB definitions due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.·Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data. Boundariesfor urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results ofongoing urbanization.Explanation of Symbols:1. An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standarderror and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.2. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or aratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.3. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.4. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.5. An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical testis not appropriate.6. An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.7. An 'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of samplecases is too small.8. An '(X)' means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.The letters PDF or symbol indicate a document is in the Portable Document Format (PDF).
