The Household Survey sample consists of civilian noninstitutionalized individuals living in the contiguous U.S. (i.e., excluding Alaska and Hawaii). The sample has been assigned weights that adjust for systematic nonresponse and allow the sample to be used to make nationally representative estimates at either the family level or the person level; CTSonline has person-level estimates only. Therefore, the estimates provided in CTSonline are nationally representative for people in the civilian noninstitutionalized population for the time period of the surveys (1996-97, 1998-99, 2000-01, 2003, and 2007).
