*Starting in 2004, the Current Population Survey revised the evaluation process of  Health Care Coverage data to more accuretely reflect respondents' coverage status.  More information available at:  http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/hlthins/usernote/usernote3-21rev.html
1 Children are considered to be covered by health insurance if they had government or private coverage at any time during the year.
2 The 2002 and later censuses allowed respondents to mark more than one race.  White only and black only include respondents who only marked one racial box.  Asian and Pacific Islanders only include those who are Asian alone or Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander alone or Asian and Native Hawaiian.  Estimates for Blacks include Hispanics of that race.  Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.
