A. Column 5, 1982 Black Voting Age Population, was computed by multiplying 1982 total voting age population of all races (from Source 1,
below) by the black percentage of voting age population in 1980 (from Source 2, below).
B. Column 4, 1982 Black Registered Voting Age Population, is equal to Column 5 times the percentage of blacks who reported that they
registered (from Source 3, below).
C. Column 3, 1982 Black Unregistered Voting Age Population, is equal to Column 5 minus Column 4.
