Dataset

The Statistical Abstract files are distributed by the US Census Department as Microsoft Excel files. These files have data mixed with notes and references, multiple tables per sheet, and, worst of all, the table headers are not easily matched to their rows and columns.

A few files had extraneous characters in the title. These were corrected to be consistent. A few files have a sheet of crufty gibberish in the first slot. The sheet order was shuffled but no data were changed.

The tables that were changed (this is table 471):

0166 0257 0362 0429 0445 0446 0459 0461 0462 0464 0465 0466 0467
0469 0479 0480 0481 0482 0483 0484 0485 0486 0487 0559 0628 0629
1144 1227 1231

This dataset consists of a table of 32 rows and 9 columns.

14,309 represents 14,309,000. For tax years. Based on a sample of returns, see source and Appendix III. Minus sign (-) indicates decrease

Footnotes

1. Constant Dollars were calculated using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price
   index for urban consumers (CPI-U, 1982-84=100). See Table 703.
2. Capital gain distributions are included in net capital gain (less loss). For 1988-1996, and
   1999-2004, capital gain distributions from mutual funds are the sum of the amounts reported
   on the Form 1040 and Schedule D. For 1997 and 1998, capital gain distributions were reported
   entirely on the Schedule D.
