Cut off points for each variable in tables 3 and 4 were as follows (where “C” stands for category, “Q” for quintile, “L” for lower bound, and “U” for upper bound)
| Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Q5 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L, U | area | L, U | L, U | L, U | L, U | L, U | ||
| *Note: for MA BG and RI BG, the referent group is C3, since C1 and C2 are empty. †Note: for % poverty, C5–C7 is effectively <20%; for % expensive homes, C1 and C3 are effectively <10%. | ||||||||
