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.  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.
2. The race groupings used in this table reflect the number of individuals who indicate a single racial identity.  Individuals who self-identify as multiracial are counted in the
"two or more" category.
3. American Indian, Alaska Native
4. Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander
Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
Data provided for only those individuals reporting a U.S. home of record.
