Notes:               Estimate of educational attainment for population 18 years old and
                     over whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent,
                     people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people
                     who received an associate's, bachelor's, master's, or professional or

                     For more information about the subject definitions, see the ACS
                     technical documentation
                     (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/technical-documentation/code-lists.html).
                     
                     Data for 2020 are based on the experimental estimates from the 1-year
                     American Community Survey released by the Census Bureau instead of the
                     traditional 1-year estimates. For more information, visit the 2020 ACS
                     1-Year Experimental Data Release page
                     (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/data/experimental-data.html).
                     
                     Single-year estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) are
                     "period" estimates derived from a data sample collected over a period
                     of time, as opposed to "point-in-time" estimates such as those from
                     past decennial censuses. ACS single-year estimates include data
                     collected over a 12-month period; explicitly the calendar year (e.g.,
                     the 2015 ACS covers the period from January 2015 through December
                     2015).

                     Estimates" p. 13) for a comprehensive set of details and
                     clarifications.
