Term · Economic statistics · MLC-T-ECS-001579

A table or product type in American FactFinder that orders the states according to the numeric value of the data displayed.

For American Community Survey Ranking Tables:The ordering provided by the "Rank" column is based only on the rounded value of the estimates and does not incorporate the margin of error. A difference in ranks between two states does not mean that the estimates are statistically different, or that one is higher than the other. Please use the "with statistical significance" version of the table to determine whether two estimates can be said to be statistically different.
