— Customers should be sure they understand this product before they buy. Because of the need to implement various disclosure avoidance techniques to protect respondent privacy, population and housing tables for many geographic areas will not appear if they do not meet the specified thresholds. Customers should read the technical documentation first for further explanations of the limitations of the file.
