Gaps subtract the hearing estimate from the Deaf estimate. Negative values mean the Deaf estimate is lower; positive values mean it is higher. Percentage points (pp) describe differences between percentages. Gap confidence intervals come from published paired estimates. Unstable estimates require caution; suppressed estimates are withheld and do not mean zero.

About this report

This report presents 9 selected Census indicators for Pinal County (North)--Apache Junction City PUMA during 2020–2024. The table shows the population covered by each measure, along with its uncertainty, sample size, and reliability. Check these details before comparing or citing estimates.

Comparing periods: Consecutive five-year estimates share four years of data. A difference between them should not be read as a change over a single year. National one-year estimates are not directly comparable benchmarks for these five-year estimates.

Results

A dash means the estimate is unavailable; the reliability column explains why. Unweighted sample is the number of survey records used, before applying survey weights. Each measure names the population it covers.
