1.
Information applies to the home community of record reported by individual
NPS and PS recruits. Socioeconomic classifications |
|
|
provided by Claritas, with matching done by zip code. |

2.
Income data do not refer to the characteristics of individual enlistees, but
rather to the characteristics of their home |
|
|
communities. |
|
|
3. The
household income quintiles were computed using median household income for
U.S. five-digit zip codes, weighted by the |
|
|
resident population of 18-24 year-olds. |
|
|
Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding. |

2.
Second Cities are less-densely populated than urban areas. While similar to suburbs in their
densities, second cities are |
|
|
the population centers of their surrounding communities. As such, many are concentrated within
America’s larger towns |
|
|
and smaller cities. This class also includes thousands of satellite
cities, which are higher-density suburbs encircling major |
|
|
|
metropolitan
centers. |
