NOTE:  The methodology used to compute 4-person family median
income by state utilizes the most recent data available from
the March Current Population Survey (CPS) and the decennial
census of population conducted by the Bureau of the Census;
as well as per capita personal income estimates produced by
the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
1/  The term "calendar year" refers to the year the money
    income was received by the Current Population Survey
    respondents.
2/  The term "fiscal year" refers to the time period used for
    eligibility for the Department of Health and Human
    Services's Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
    (LIHEAP).
3/  As published in the Federal Register for use in the
    Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
4/  Implementation of a new March CPS processing system.
5/  March CPS estimates were derived using pareto
    interpolation and may differ from published data which
    were derived using linear interpolation.
6/  First year medians derived from the March CPS using both
    pareto and linear interpolation.  Prior to this year all
    medians were derived using linear interpolation.
7/  CPS questionnaire expanded to record 27 possible values
    from 51 possible sources of income.
8/  Implementation of 1980 census population controls in CPS
    estimates.
9/  Implementation of a new modeling technique and Hispanic
    population weighting controls.
10/ Recording of amounts for earnings from longest job on the
    March CPS was increased to $299,999.  Return to exclusive
    use of linear interpolation of model estimates.
11/ Implementation of a new March CPS processing system.
12/ Implementation of 1990 census population controls in CPS
13/ Data collection method changed in the CPS from paper and
    pencil to computer-assisted interviewing.  In addition,
    the March 1994 CPS income supplement was revised to allow
    for the coding of different income amounts on selected
    questionnaire items.  Limits either increased or
    decreased in the following categories:  earnings
    increased to $999,999; Social Security increased to
    $49,999; Supplemental Security Income and Public
    Assistance increased to $24,999; Veterans' Benefits
    increased to $99,999; Child Support and Alimony decreased
    to $49,999.
14/ Introduction of new 1990 census-based sample design to
    the March CPS.
15/ Full implementation of the 1990 census-based sample design
    and revised race edits to the March CPS.
16/ In 1999, BEA revised its methodology in estimating personal
    per capita income.
17/ Implementation of Census 2000-based population controls
    in CPS estimates.
