| 1. Family units: economic families (a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common law or adoption) and unattached individuals (a person living either alone or with others to whom he or she is unrelated). |
| 2. The value at which half of all family units have lower net worth and half have higher net worth. |
| 3. Total debts divided by total assets. If debts are lower than assets, the number will be less than 1; if they are higher, the number will be greater than 1. |
