GUIDE TO TABULAR PRESENTATION

The following symbols, used in the tables throughout this book, are explained in condensed form in foctnotes to the tables where they appear:

B

Represents zero or rounds to less than half the unit of measurement shown.

Base figure too small to meet statistical standards for reliability of derived figure.

D Figure withheld to avoid disclosure of information pertaining to a specific organization or individual.

NA Data not enumerated, tabulated, or otherwise available separately.

NS Percent change irrelevant or insignificant.

S

X

Figure does not meet publication standards for reasons other than that covered by symbol B, above.

Figure not applicable because column heading and stub line make an entry impossible, absurd, or meaningless.

Z Entry would amount to less than half the unit of measure shown.

Headnotes immediately below table titles provide information important for correct interpretation or evaluation of the table as a whole or for a major segment of it.

Footnotes below the bottom rule of tables give information relating to specific items or figures within the table.

Unit indicators ("In thousands," "In millions of dollars," etc.) are usually given in boldface type as the first element of the headnote. In tables where several units are used, the unit indicators are generally given in the stub or in the column headings.

Median: The value which divides the distribution into two equal parts-one-half the cases falling below this value and one-half exceeding it.

Parallel vertical rules are used to the right of a total column to indicate

(1) that the components which follow add to the total (e.g., tables 1, 3, 17, etc.);

(2) in the case of derived figures, that the underlying data are additive to their total (e.g., table 17 for percentages, table 25 for ratios, table 68 for rates and table 104 for averages).

Heavy vertical rules are used

(1) in tables where the stub (the area, date, or descriptive column at the left) is continued into one or more additional columns across the table to separate each segment of stub and its accompanying data columns from the continued segments (e.g., tables 2, 5, 10, etc.);

(2) to set off independent sections of a table (e.g., tables 1, 4, 7, etc.).

In many tables, details will not add to the totals shown because of rounding.

GUIDE TO TABULAR PRESENTATION

The following symbols, used in the tables throughout this book, are explained in
condensed form in footnotes to the tables where they appear:

Represents zero or rounds to less than half the unit of measurement shown.

B Base figure too small to meet statistical standards for reliability of derived
figure.

D

Figure withheld to avoid disclosure of information pertaining to a specific
organization or individual.

NA Data not enumerated, tabulated, or otherwise available separately.

NS Percent change irrelevant or insignificant.

S

Z

Figure does not meet publication standards for reasons other than that
covered by symbol B, above.

Figure not applicable because column heading and stub line make an entry
impossible, absurd, or meaningless.
