• Add mean gross rent to the list of variables under “Inflation” and under “Means”
• Edit the text of the Detailed Race and Ethnicity section to read as below:

"Detailed race and ethnicity data shown in NYC PFF represent the count of people identifying with each group alone or in any combination. The count "alone or in any combination" includes people identifying solely with a particular group as well as people identifying with multiple groups -- representing the maximum number of people who identified with each respective group. Counts for Hispanic groups -- those nested under “Hispanic or Latino (of any race)” -- represent the count of people who identified with each detailed group in the Hispanic origin question, rather than the race question -- making the counts mutually exclusive of other Hispanic detailed groups, but potentially overlapping with any combination of responses to the non-Hispanic detailed race groups.

Counts are given for both detailed and regional groups, with detailed groups nesting under regional, and both nesting under broad Race/Ethnicity groups following the Census Bureau’s classification methodology. Some responses may have been reclassified by the Census Bureau. All detailed race and ethnicity data are affected by the Census Bureau’s infusion of statistical noise for privacy protection, and thus come with bands of uncertainty. (For more information on the classifications and noise infusion, see the Census Bureau’s Detailed DHC-A technical documentation.)

For all geographies, and for every given detailed race and ethnicity group, the Census Bureau suppressed counts of less than 22. For regional groups, the Census Bureau suppressed counts of less than 94. Consequently, NYC PFF will display such suppressed values as blank.

When geographies are aggregated (such as a grouping of census tracts forming a Neighborhood Tabulation Area, Community District Tabulation Area, or other custom study area) there may be compounded error from both suppression and intentional noise infusion. Further, aggregated counts will not sum to published counts for higher orders of geography, such as boroughs, due to independent application of noise infusion. (Again, see the Census Bureau’s Detailed DHC-A technical documentation for more information.)"
