Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. A margin of error is a measure of an estimate’s variability. The larger the margin of error
2
in relation to the size of the estimates, the less reliable the estimate. When added to and subtracted from the estimate, the margin of error forms the 90 percent
confidence interval.
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone was combined with Some Other Race because of a small number of sample observations.
