Nr = Number of Ranked Species = 3
Ner = Number of Extant, Ranked Species = 3
Nv = Number of Historic and Extirpated Species = 0
Nar = Number of Species at Risk of Extirpation (State rank > S5) = 2
Nss = Number of Secure Species (State Rank = S5) = 1
Pss = Proportion of Secure Species (Nss/Ner) = 0.33333
ENE = Expected Number of Extirpations (Sum of PE) = 0.00404
Average PE (ENE/Ner) = 0.00135
Habitat Risk Index = (Nar+Nv) x Average PE = 2 x 0.00135 = 0.0027
