The bold figures report a significant increase from the previous row.

The italic figures report a significant decrease from the previous row.

The p-values are the result of a paired t-test with 254 df; H0: μd = 0, where μd is the difference in subscribers using a given sanitation type at two stages in the sanitation arc; HA: μd0.

The row sums may exceed the respondent count, as respondents could report multiple household sanitation options.

*Significant at 0.05 level; **significant at 0.01 level; ***significant at 0.001 level.
