* Area Index is '100' based. An Area Index value of 100 for a particular variable indicates that, for the area, the relative concentration of the variable is consistent with the average concentration of that variable across the US. Accordingly, an index value of 200 indicates that the relative concentration of the variable is twice the national average, while an index value of 50 indicates that the relative concentration of the variable is half the national average.

In most cases, these should be considered as relative indicators, since local differences may result in different behavior. In addition, in some cases, variables must be considered as potential only, since the activity or store may not be locally available.
