1. Information applies to the home community of record reported by individual NPS and PS recruits. Socioeconomic classifications provided by Claritas, with matching done by zip code.  Communities are grouped by population and economic density. Groups range from most to least dense. For example, "Metropolitan" centers are generally highly urban centers,   are more commercial/industrial centers, and "Rural" areas have the smallest population and economic densities.  These groupings reflect JAMRS' population density classification scheme, which changed in 2016.
2. American Indian, Alaska Native
