The significance level refers to the difference in estimates when comparing numbers of people and to the difference in percentages when comparing percent distributions of people. -Represents zero or rounds to zero. 1. This figure when added to or subtracted from the estimate provides the 90-percent confidence interval.

For the numbers, the difference is the percent difference and is calculated as {(ACS-CPS)/CPS}*100. For the percentages, the difference is the percentage-point difference and is calculated as ACS-CPS. All calculations and tests of significance are done on unrounded estimates and standard errors. 3.
