American Community Survey 2003 Profile: East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana
The 2003 American Community Survey universe is limited to the household population and excludes the population living
in institutions, college dormitories, and other group quarters. Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling
variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate is represented through the use of a confidence interval. The
confidence interval computed here is a 90 percent confidence interval and can be interpreted roughly as providing 90
percent certainty that the true number falls between the lower and upper bounds.
(Note: Table 1,2,3,4)
The number of householders does not necessarily equal the number of households because of differences in the
weighting schemes for the population and occupied housing units.
(Note: Table 1,3)
Ancestry listed in this table refers to the total number of reports; for example, the estimate given for Russian represents
the number of people who listed Russian as either their first or second ancestry. This table lists only the largest ancestry
groups; see the Detailed Tables for more categories. Race and Hispanic origin groups are not included in this table
because official data for those groups come from the Race and Hispanic origin questions rather than the ancestry
question (see Table 1).
(Note: Table 2)
Employment and unemployment estimates may vary from the official labor force data released by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics because of differences in survey design and data collection.
(Note: Table 3)
Occupation codes are 4-digit codes, but are still based on Standard Occupational Classification 2000.
(Note: Table 3)
Industry codes are 4 digit codes and are based on the North American Industry Classification System 2002. However,
the Industry categories adhere to the guidelines issued in Clarification Memorandum No. 2, "NAICS Alternate Aggregation
Structure for Use By U. S. Statistical Agencies," issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
(Note: Table 3)
1. An '*' entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates that too few sample observations
were available to compute a standard error and thus the lower and upper bounds.
A statistical test is not appropriate.
2. An '**' entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates that no sample observations were
available to compute a standard error and thus the lower and upper bounds.
A statistical test is not appropriate.
3. An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that no sample observations were available to
compute an estimate.
4. An '-' following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an
open-ended distribution.
5. An '+' following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an
open-ended distribution.
6. An '***' entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates that the median falls in the
lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not
appropriate.
7. An '*****' entry in the lower and upper bound columns indicates that the estimate is
controlled. A statistical test is not appropriate.
8. An 'N' entry in the estimate, lower bound, and upper bound columns indicates that data for this
geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.
