1See the Census Bureau web site for a description of FIPS codes. 2The 2003 Rural-urban continuum codes classify metropolitan counties (codes 1 through 3) by size of the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), and nonmetropolitan counties (codes 4 through 9) by degree of urbanization and proximity to metro areas. See the Rural-urban continuum codes for precise definitions of each code. 3The 2003 Urban influence codes classify metropolitan counties (codes 1 through 2) by size of the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), and nonmetropolitan counties (codes 3 through 12) by the size of the largest city or town and proximity to metro and micro areas. See the Urban influence codes for precise definitions of each code. 4For 1970 and 1980, the share of adults with less than high school includes those who had not completed the 12th grade. In 1990 and 2000, the share includes those who did not receive a high school diploma or its equivalent (such as a GED).
