\1 Approximately every 10 years, metropolitan/nonmetropolitan area definitions are redefined by the Office
of Management and Budget. Therefore metropolitan/nonmetropolitan data prior to 1986, 1986 to 1994, 1995 to 2004, and 2005 and later
are not comparable to each other. See Source and Accuracy section for explanation.
