"Hispanic or Latino (of any race)"
"$1 to $4,999 or loss" which is under Earnings in the Past 12 Months

Error in 2009 ACS 1-year Subject Tables S2702 "Selected Characteristics of the Uninsured in the United States" and S2702-PR "Selected Characteristics of the Uninsured in Puerto Rico"

Revised: 5/2/2011

On March 30, 2011, Subject Tables S2702 and S2702-PR were removed due to several data errors. These tables include selected characteristic distributions for the uninsured population in the United States and Puerto Rico. The following table rows contained incorrect information:

"White-Alone, not Hispanic or Latino"
"Hispanic or Latino (of any race)"
All rows regarding "Language Spoken at Home"
"$1 to $4,999 or loss" which is under Earnings in the Past 12 Months
"$5,000 to $14,999" which is under Earnings in the Past 12 Months

These tables were first introduced in the 2009 ACS 1-year data product. The errors existed in the 2009 1-year estimates on both American FactFinder and in the comma separated value (csv) files available via the Census Bureau's FTP site. Revised versions of Subject Tables S2702 and S2702-PR will be available in May 2011. The revised tables will not include rows for "Language Spoken at Home."

Error in 2009 ACS 1-year Subject Tables S2702 "Selected Characteristics of the Uninsured in the United States" and S2702-PR "Selected Characteristics of the Uninsured in Puerto Rico"

Subject tables S2702 and S2702-PR, which displayed selected characteristics of the uninsured in the United States and Puerto Rico, were removed because of two estimate errors. Under the Race and Hispanic or Latino Origin section of these subject tables, the "White-Alone, not Hispanic or Latino" and "Hispanic or Latino (of any race)" estimates were switched for all geographies. For the correct estimates for these populations, please refer to detailed table B27001H for the White Alone, not Hispanic or Latino population and B27001I for the Hispanic or Latino population.

The error only affects the 2009 ACS 1-year estimates that were available on American FactFinder and as comma separated value (csv) files via the Census Bureau's FTP site. Revised data for Subject Tables S2702 and S2702-PR will be available in May 2011.
