    "summary": "Five descriptive measures are calculated from official ACS detailed-table estimates for New York City and its five borough counties. Percentage margins of error use Census guidance for aggregated categories and ratios; all ACS margins of error are at the 90% confidence level.",
    "interpretation": "These estimates describe economic conditions at a broad place level. They do not score young people, establish why any event occurred, or prove that economic pressure caused firearm victimization, school outcomes, or system contact.",
    "geography_note": "Borough values use the coterminous Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond county records. The citywide value uses the New York city place record and is not an average of borough percentages.",
    "limitations": [
      "ACS five-year estimates combine survey responses collected across 2020–2024 and should not be read as a point-in-time 2024 count.",
      "Each percentage uses its own published universe; the measures do not describe one common set of people.",
      "Margins of error communicate sampling uncertainty but do not cover every source of survey or processing error.",
      "Borough estimates conceal substantial variation within boroughs."
