**The method for determining a county's fiscal capacity is changing.  To prevent rapid changes in state funding, the old and new calculations will be blended during the transition.  The fiscal capacity reported in this data sheet uses the old method.  BEP funding reported on this data sheet uses a blend of both old and new methods.  Details of the new method can be found at http://cber.bus.utk.edu/ [see BEP 2.0 Fiscal Capacity Inputs].
