Unfortunately, data vendors are not particularly good at distinguishing between income dividends paid and capital gains distributed. To many, they are both treated as dividends.

According to the dividend function on Bloomberg, there isn't any particular income payment rate, so extrapolating to a dividend rate would be a mistake.
