! Interpret data with caution. Standard error is more than one-third the estimate. NOTE: This table shows, for example, that 24.3 percent of credential-seeking career education undergraduates in 2003–04 were from families in the lowest family income quartile. There were approximately 16,820,000 credential-seeking undergraduates in 2003-04. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
