An example of how to read the data in this table: Regarding expenditure per capita, the table tells us that the HAPLR Index is weighted at 3 for this factor.  An amount of $110.16 or more would put a library above the 95th percentile, whereas an amount below $5.80 would put it below the 5th percentile.
