	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. 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.
	Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
	Data provided for only those individuals reporting a U.S. home of record.
