The Household Survey sample consists of civilian noninstitutionalized individuals living in the contiguous U.S. (and in Alaska and Hawaii starting with the 2007 survey). 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; HSCdataOnline has person-level estimates only. Therefore, the estimates provided in HSCdataOnline 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).
