current year, computed on an annual basis, and the tenant's annual household income for the two
preceding years, whichever is less, exceeds an amount equal to three times the county per capita
personal income, as last reported by the Department of Labor and Industry on the basis of the U.S.
Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis data, or $50,000.00, whichever is greater.

was based and (2) the last year in which the tenant's annual household income is based. The county per capita
personal income shall be adjusted by the department by an amount equal to the number of years of the difference
