NOTE: N=836. Coeff. refers to the median of all local coefficients . Interquartile range of local coefficients in parantheses. (a) Coefficients and SE multiplied by 10,000. MC refers to Monte Carlo tests of spatial variability: ₤ p<.05; ₤₤ p<.01; ₤₤₤ p<.001. These tests indicate the extent to which the variation in coefficients across space is significantly different from a random distribution.
