Here are the breaks in AVG_Z where vulnerable = YES:
0-7.5 = vulnerable
7.5-17.5 = more vulnerable
17.5-25.3 = most vulnerable
Not vulnerable is simply where vulnerable = NO

There is a first condition to determine vulnerability in the first place. Therefore, it is possible for vulnerable = NO to have AVG_Z > 0.
