Note: +p < .10. * p < .05. ** p < .01. *** p < .001. Household weights used to approximate population estimates. Tests of statistical significance based on simple OLS and logistic regression models using only highest educational attainment (reference category: Some College or Higher), home ownership (reference category: Owns Home), and age of youngest child (reference category: 0–5 Years), to predict each measure of instability.
