1 Includes students from counties assigned a Rural-Urban Continuum Code (RUCC) of 8 and/or 9. RUCC 8 = “completely rural or less than 2500 urban population and adjacent to a metro area.” RUCC 9 = “completely rural or less than 2500 urban population and not adjacent to a metro area.” 2 Includes students from counties assigned a RUC code of 1–7. RUCC 1–3 = metro counties and RUCC 4–7 = more than 2500 urban population. 3 Compared to Whites; no purchases were reported for Alaskan Natives due to missing data; no comparisons were completed with Pacific Islanders due to the low frequency. 4 OR = Odds Ratio and CI = Confidence Interval.
