NOTES: Each date represents May-August of the given year; monthly data is pooled across four months to increase robustness of estimates given relatively small sample sizes for some groups. For race/ethnicity categories, “Black and other” includes individuals who self-report as Black, Pacific Islander, Native American, and other non-white, non-Asian, or non-Latino categories.
