different from zero at the 90 percent confidence level 1 Details may not sum to totals because of rounding 2 A 90 percent confidence interval is a measure of an estimate’s variability The larger the confidence interval in relation to the size of the estimate, the less reliable the estimate For more information, see “Standard Errors and Their Use” at 3 Federal surveys now give respondents the option of reporting more than one race Therefore, two basic ways of defining a race group are possible A group such as Asian may be defined as those who reported Asian and no other race (the race-alone or single-race concept) or as those who reported Asian regardless of whether they also reported another race (the race-alone-or-in-combination concept) This table shows data using the first approach (race alone) The use of the single-race population does not imply that it is the preferred method of presenting or analyzing data The Census Bureau uses a variety of approaches Information on people who reported more than one race, such as White and American Indian and Alaska Native or Asian and Black or African American, is available from Census 2000 through American FactFinder About 26 percent of people reported more than one race in Census 2000 Data for American Indians and Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, and those reporting two or more races are not

Number Uninsured and Uninsured Rate: 1987 to 2009 Numbers in millions, rates in percent 1987 1990 1993 Number uninsured Uninsured rate 1996 1 1999 2 1 The data for 1996 through 2003 were revised using an approximation method for consistency with the revision to the 2004 and 2005 estimates. 2 Implementation of Census 2000-based population controls occurred for the 2000 ASEC, which collected data for 1999. These estimates also reflect the results of follow-up verification questions, which were asked of people who responded “no” to all questions about specific types of health insurance coverage in order to verify whether they were actually uninsured. This change increased the number and percentage of people covered by health insurance, bringing the CPS more in line with estimates from other national surveys. Notes: Respondents were not asked detailed health insurance questions before the 1988 CPS. The data points are placed at the midpoints of the respective years.
