2.__Local median household income.__The local median household income is divided by the statewide average median household income.__ The final result is multiplied by an income weight of 0.15.__The__department shall use local median household income data as estimated at the fiscal year 1997-98 level until final Federal Decennial Census figures are established for the year 2000.__The fiscal year 1997-98 estimated census figures must be adjusted so that no municipality's census figure exceeds twice the state average percentage increase from fiscal year 1996-97 to fiscal year 1997-98.
