Table 1. Conservation funding and change in per capita land consumption.

Conservation funding per capita	Change in per capita land consumption (m2/person)
None	−97 a
$0–$25	−90a,b
$25–$100	−151a,b
More than $100	−206b

Conservation funding is the sum of all approved municipal, special district, and county ballot initiatives from 1990–2000, in nominal $, divided by the MSA population in 1990. Changes in per capita land consumption are measured as the difference between 1990 and 2000 per capita consumption, in developed area per person. Negative numbers indicate per capita land consumption declined over the decade. Statistically different groups are shown with different superscripts.
