Note. Nonelderly was defined as a person between the ages of 18 and 64 years; elderly was defined as a person 65 years or older. Because the Census Bureau did not publicly release information on the clustering variables, it was not possible to compute precise confidence intervals. Thus, small differences should be interpreted cautiously.
