Prince George's County detailed tables

This brief was updated in February 2018. We replaced the data for Hispanics in figure 6 to show the share of adults with a high school degree (the earlier version showed the share without a degree). The detailed tables were also updated in February 2018. The margin of error for the child poverty rate for Hispanics and Asians were incorrectly assigned on the “Income” worksheet and are now corrected. The data on the “data_ACS” worksheet remain correct.
