Table note 1
Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender
variable is sometimes necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses provided. In these
cases, individuals in the category "non-binary persons" are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the "+" symbol.
Table note 2
This category includes men, as well as some non-binary persons.
Table note 3
This category includes women, as well as some non-binary persons.
