categories two, three, four, and five or
more have been consolidated into one new category two or more.
Graph 92b is a more accurate
illustration of the actual table from which the data was taken. The
category none was addtionally created by subtracting the number
of households with a computer from all households. See graph 87a for illustration and source. |
