Note: Percentages listed are the average over the three years' percentages, not the percentage
of the average numbers (calculated as "Number" divided by "Total Children"). Results may
differ slightly based on the method used.
1/ Estimates reflect the results of a health insurance verification question implemented in the
March 2000 and 2001 CPS, and therefore are not directly comparable with the three-year averages
from earlier years.
r Based on a November 2001 weighting correction.
