NOTES: Data include only privately owned capital stock, except for highways and streets. Consumer motor vehicles are consumer durable goods. In-house transportation includes transportation service provided within a firm whose main business is not transportation. For example, grocery companies often use their own truck fleets to move goods from their warehouses to their retail outlets.

Data have been adjusted for inflation using price deflators from the following sources: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, National Income and Product Accounts, Quantity and Price Indexes; and U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Producer Price Indexes.
