Note: Seniors include those aged 65 and older while non-seniors include those aged 15 to 64. Missing or not stated responses are included in percent calculations but are not shown unless they represent more than 5% of the population. Confidence intervals should be interpreted as follows: if the survey were repeated many times, then 95% of the time (or 19 times out of 20), the confidence interval would cover the true population value.
