1 Below 150 percent of poverty line or 60 percent of median State income.
2 Approximately 0.5 percent of the vehicle stock was owned by households that had no
drivers as of fall 1993.
NF = No applicable RSE row factor.
Q = Data withheld either because the Relative Standard Error (RSE) was greater than 50
percent or fewer than 10 households were sampled.
Notes: • "Households with Children" category includes members under age 18 years old
unless the member is the householder or spouse. • To obtain the Relative Standard Error
(RSE) percentage for any table cell, multiply the corresponding column and row factors.
• Because of rounding, data may not sum to totals. • Data in this table are for
households with vehicles for personal transportation. • See Glossary for definition of
terms used in this report.
