SPPRES10 is based on the 2010 Census occupation classification. This 
standard prestige score is a simple mean value of ratings for each 
occupation category, converted to a scale of 0 (bottom) to 100 (top).

SPPRES105PLUS is based on the 2010 Census occupation classification. 
This prestige score is calculated using an alternative method, based 
on the percentage of ratings that is greater than or equal to a 
threshold (rating five). The effect of individual raters is also 
removed using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM).
