* 1980, 1990 and 2000 figures were derived as follows: Value category thresholds for those years' census data
were multiplied by factors reflecting home value inflation from 1980 to 1990, 1990 to 2000, and 2000 to 2013. These
thresholds were compared with 2009-2013 value thresholds. Numbers of homes falling in each 2009-2013 category
were interpolated according to where the inflated 1980, 1990 and 2000 thresholds fell.

* 1980, 1990 and 2000 figures were derived as follows: Income category thresholds for those years' census data
were multiplied by factors to reflect inflation from 1979 to 1989, from 1989 to 1999 and from 1999 to 2013. These
thresholds were compared with 2009-2013 income thresholds. Numbers of households falling within each 2009-2013
category were interpolated according to where the inflated 1980, 1990 and 2000 thresholds fell.
