3) Scroll through the Available Census Areas to find and queue each area that you want to combine, double-clicking on each to add it to the queue.
4) Select a weight combination option: a) Weight all areas equally: The Complete AAP will automatically assign equal weight to each selected area. b) Weight all areas at 100%: The Complete AAP will use 100% rather than an average of each census area’s female and minority availability. c) Use manually entered weights: Weight each area as you wish. The weight must add up to 100%.

6) Make sure that the weights you type add up to 100%.
