1 An average of 1996, 1997 and 1998 Current Population Survey Data are used to create this estimate.  The three year estimate is used in orer to reduce sampling variance.  Ideally 1997, 1998 and 1999 data would be used but 1999 data are not available yet.

A targeting index over 100 indicates that a group receives LIHEAP benefits at at rate greater than the average eligible population, and a targeting index below 100 indicates that a group receives benefits at a rate lower than the average for the eligible population
