*/ The 3-year moving average median is the sum of inflation  
adjusted, single-year medians divided by three.  For example,
the 1999 3-year average ($39,657) consists of the sum of the 
1997, 1998, and 1999 medians divided by 3; the 1998 3-year   
average ($38,614) consists of the sum of the 1996, 1997, and 
1998 medians divided by 3.
