Indices
This table with op= shows indices created with op=128. It has two decimal places for percentages. Notice, though, that the indices are only ever shown as whole percentages. Each index is created by taking the column percentage for the cell and dividing it by the percentage in the most recent base column. For example, the index of 108% for women aged 55 or more is created by dividing 8.71% (column percent) by 8.10% (base column percent).
