42. Social and Economic Characteristics of the Asian and Pacific Islander Population

[As of March (6,679 represents 6,679,000). Excludes members of Armed Forces exceptthose living off post or with their families on post.Data for 1990-93 are based on 1980 census population controls; beginning 1994 dataare based on 1990 census population controls.The independent estimate of 9.3 million for the Asian and Pacific Islanderpopulation differs substantially from the March (6,679 represents 6,679,000) 1995 Current Population Survey (CPS) estimate of 6.7 million for this population. The CPS estimate, based ona sample, is subject to both sampling and nonsampling errors. It is notcontrolled to independent estimates for this population. Estimates may differbecause of different data collection and estimation procedures and samplingerror. However, distributions of characteristics for the Asian and PacificIslander population in the March (6,679 represents 6,679,000) 1995 CPS appear reasonable when compared tothe 1990 census distribution. When comparing data for the Asian and Pacific Islander population for previous years, caution should be used. The differencein the Asian and Pacific Islander numbers for 1994 and 1995 are due to thegrowth in the number of persons reporting in the "Other race" category.Based on Current Population Survey; see text, this section, and Appendix III]
