Estimate order: usable estimates descend, with county name then FIPS breaking ties; unavailable estimates appear last and are never zero. This order is not a statistically established rank. Published MOEs use a 90% confidence level. Uncertainty intervals can overlap, limiting comparisons; adjacent estimates are not established as significantly different. No significance test is calculated. These period estimates do not establish trends or grant eligibility. Definitions, status flags and uncertainty.
