I working with ACS table B05006. Some of the country names include "n.e.c" What does this abbreviation stand for and what does it mean?
Thanks

I couldn't post a screen capture but it's hidden deep within the code list linked above.
Though given geopolitics and the way country names can change it might stand for "Not Even Close" :) :)
