a

Weighted number of people reporting difficulty with independent living (i.e., “disable”)

b

Percent disable (%D) = [(weighted disable count ÷ weighted total population) × 100] (Note: total population available in Table 1)

c

Standard error (SE)

d

Margin of error (MOE)

e

Lower confidence limit (LCL): Low limit of 90 % confidence interval = (Disable – MOE)

f

Upper confidence limit (UCL): High limit of 90 % confidence interval = (Disable + MOE)

g

Range of uncertainty (RU) = {[(SE × 3) ÷ disable] × 100}

h

Allocated: Number of responses to ‘independent living’ survey item which are assigned or changed

i

Percent allocated (%A) = [(weighted allocated count ÷ weighted total population) × 100] (Note: total population available in Table 1)
