51. Note that the proportion of communities in each of the three outcome categories of “high,” “medium,” and “low” will not necessarily equal exactly one-third since a number of communities had the same score but straddled the 33.3% or 67.3% cutoff. All of the communities with the same score therefore had to be assigned to the same category. This resulted in 28% of communities falling into the higher total capital outcome category, 30% in the medium, and 42% in the lower tier.
