1Percentage of respondents who said no for each category was dropped for brevity.

ϯIndicates the percentage who said yes is statistically different than the percentage that said no at the 0.005 level given the Bonferroni correction.

2Matching lowercase letters indicates the percentage is the same down the column. For example the percentage who voluntarily wear a mask in an in person religious service is equal to the percentage who voluntarily wear a mask to the gym, but statistically different from the percentage who wear a mask in a big box grocery store/supermarket at the 0.005 level given the Bonferroni correction.

ΨIndicates the percentage of respondents within the category are statistically different for that location. For example, the percentage of woman who voluntarily wore a mask in a big box grocery store/supermarket is statistically different than the percentage of men at the 0.005 level given the Bonferroni correction.

3Lower income is defined as $49,999 or less, higher income is defined as $50,000 or greater.
