a

Racial and ethnic groups include Hispanic or Latino (Hispanic), non-Hispanic Asian alone (Asian), non-Hispanic Black or African American alone (Black), non-Hispanic persons of other or multiple races (other/multiple), and non-Hispanic White alone (White).

b

PP difference between racial/ethnic minority group and White group. Weighted percentages were calculated using person-level probability weights. CIs were calculated using replicate weights. Actual differences reflect the weighted difference in the outcome variable between the racial and ethnic minority group and White respondents. Explained differences are the differences predicted on the basis of explanatory variables alone. The detailed decomposition shows how much of the explained disparity is because of each explanatory variable.
