Same Block Index: Percent of the spatial component of infestation explained by same city block neighbors (see Section 2 in Text S1). In parentheses are the 95% Credible Intervals (CrI) according to the MCMC sampling. The probability of having no barrier effect of streets is indicated with the values of Inline graphic: Inline graphic;
