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 $58.83 or more would put a library above the 95th percentile, whereas an amount below $5.39 would put it below the 5th percentile.

First 6 are input, next 9 are output measures.
