aA 90-percent confidence interval is a measure of an estimate's reliability. The larger the confidence interval is,
in relation to the size of the estimate, the less reliable the estimate.
bLimited to one-family homes on less than 10 acres and no business on property (including mobile homes).
cIndividual percents for 2006 were not available because sales price categories were changed in 2007. Specifically,
$100,000 to $199,999 became two categories: $100,000 to $149,999 and $150,000 to $199,999. Similarly, $200,000 to
$299,999 became $200,000 to $249,999 and $250,000 to $299,999.
