The information only contains citizens of each city (residents). Numbers related to high-net-worth individuals are rounded to the nearest 100. Figures for multimillionaires are rounded to the nearest 10. All growth rates are, in fact, expressed in US dollars because high-net-worth persons are those who have net assets of at least USD $1 million.
