Four data profiles for each geography were created. Estimates of general demographic characteristics,
selected social characteristics, general economic characteristics, and selected housing characteristics are
available for both time frames for all published geographies. The data for the two time periods are displayed
side-by-side to facilitate comparison. The statistical significance of the difference between each estimate for both
time periods is also listed. Below is a more detailed listing of the characteristics that are included in each of the
four profiles.

The 2005 ACS Special Product for the Gulf Coast Area includes the margin of error for each estimate,
which is the 90 percent confidence interval. The sample estimate and its standard error permit the construction of a
confidence interval that represents the degree of uncertainly about the estimate. A 90 percent confidence interval can be
interpreted roughly as providing 90 percent certainty that the true number falls between the upper and lower bounds.
A margin of error is the difference between an estimate and its upper or lower confidence bounds.
