Note: PUMA-counties are geographical units each made up of one or more PUMAs and one or more counties and are the most detailed geographical subdivision that both counties and PUMAs nest within. Location-specific results are reported for 2012–2021 only, as American Community Survey data before 2012 used a different set of PUMAs.
