Most data is from the 2000 Census long form, which was sent to roughly 1 in 6 people in the metro area. Because the numbers are from a survey, they are subject to sampling error. The amount of potential error varies by topic and community. In general, it is larger for smaller communities and for topics measuring small populations, such as people with graduate degrees or people born abroad.
