... Data Analysis, Airline Industry Changes, and Case Study Selection 41 The pattern of seats offered by carrier type at non-hub airports followed the same pattern as that of small-hub airports, although at a greater degree. As shown in the top half of Exhibit 3-9, the aggregate number of seats offered at non-hub airports declined from 3.0 million in 2001 to 2.5 million in 2013, a reduction of 19%.

... Data Analysis, Airline Industry Changes, and Case Study Selection 43 The median per capita income for each hub group is also shown, to demonstrate the ranges in per capita income. The median per capita income for CBSAs with small-hub airports in 2013 was $41,627 and the median per capita income for CBSAs with non-hub airports was $39,381.
