2009 American Community Survey (ACS) Comparison Profile: Wyoming
NOTE. Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns and estimates of housing units for states and counties. For more information on confidentiality protection, sampling error, nonsampling error, and definitions, see Survey Methodology.
Table 1. Demographic and Housing Estimates:
An * indicates that the estimate is significantly different (at a 90% confidence level) than the estimate from the most current year.  A 'c' indicates the estimates for that year and the current year are both controlled; a statistical test is not appropriate.
