  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. Claritas groups home communities by population density, ranging from the most densely populated "Urban" centers of our largest cities to 
     "Town/Rural", a category that includes towns, farm land and sparely populated areas.  The categories are listed in decreasing orders of density.
  3. 0 are not included due to missing education data.
      Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
