Notes
7. Youth who attend school or are employedIncludes the percentage of adolescents, ages 16–19, who are either enrolled in school or working as a percentage of all youth ages 16–19. Analysis provided by Population Reference Bureau and based upon five year estimates from U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS), 2006–10 and 2010–14. For this analysis, ACS data are clustered into multi-county groups for select low-population counties. The multi-county groups are as follows: (1) Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Inyo, Mariposa, Mono and Tuolumne; (2) Colusa, Glenn, Tehama and Trinity; (3) Del Norte, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Plumas, Sierra and Siskiyou; (4) Lake and Mendocino; (5) Monterey and San Benito; (6) Sutter and Yuba.
NA (Not Available)Data that are not available are noted as NA. The most frequent reasons for NAs include the unavailability of longitudinal data, fewer than 10 cases (low number events), and statistically unstable estimates.
Asterisks*An asterisk indicates that data should be interpreted with caution. Asterisks were used to note low number of events (fewer than 10) or unstable data with large confidence intervals. Data or estimates with low numbers and large confidence intervals indicate that a data point may not be a true representation of the larger population.
