Notes: (1)Three-year average is recommended when comparing rates between States and 2-year average is recommended when comparing change in State rates to reduce somewhat the chances of misinterpreting differences and lessen the effect of sampling variability. (2)CPS does not adequately reflect health insurance coverage through State-specific plans, such as those that exist in Hawaii, because the same questions are used for every State.
