Methodology: Percentages were calculated by applying current capture rates for each age group to 2035 projections for each of the age groups and summing across all age groups to get a projected share figure for each Zone. The 2009 share figure was then subtracted from the projected 2035 share to get a net shift figure for each Zone. 26Source: FHDA IR&P, Gregory Stoup
