Note 2.

Percent change calculations are based on unrounded constant dollar amounts. Constant dollars are adjusted (by inflation or deflation) to show changes in the purchasing power of the dollar. The Consumer Price Index was used to calculate constant dollars over a base year of 2002 (2002=100). Data from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) used to calculate constant dollars are the most recent data available at the time this article was produced.
