Note. The sum of the percentages of all the categories of each variable equals 100% except when indicated. This table also includes the percentages of variables that were not included in every regression analysis.

a

We collapsed options “not at all” and “not much” (category “No” in the table), and options “some” and “a lot” (category “Yes” in the table).

b

This variable is not the same in every year. It is a binary variable that includes different measures each year (see the “Data and Method” section).

c

This variable is not the same in every year. It is a variable based on a set of questions about language use in the 2007 and 2010 analyses. We used language spoken during the interview as a proxy for Spanish dominant in the 2008 and 2013 analyses.

d

The sum of the percentages of all the categories of these variables does not equal 100% due to the omitted category “missing values,” except in educational attainment in 2013 (one missing value removed for the analysis).
