Notes


Time comparisons with 5-year estimates is best done without overlapping the years. For example, comparing 2018, 2019 and 2020 5-year estimates is not ideal since the 2020 estimates include 2019 and 2018 in their data estimates. It is better to use something like the 2020 5-year estimates compared with the 2015 estimates, since they do not include any overlapping years.
