⁷ The validity of this measure being interpreted as a measure of low status is heightened because it is positively correlated with lower categories of income and is negatively related to higher measures of income.

⁸ This measure of upper status is negatively and significantly related to other measures of lower status, such as the percentage of community residents in various blue-collar and other working class occupations. Write author for supporting data.

¹⁰ A direct measure of the amount of land used for industrial and manufacturing use was not available at the data-gathering stage. Subsequently, it was determined that there is a very high correlation between the amount of land zoned industrial and the amount of land actually used for this purpose. Obviously, some amount of land zoned for this purpose is not used at all, while other land is zoned for some other purpose, but is actually used for industry or manufacturing.

¹¹ The term market or “real” value is a term used to distinguish the equalized assessment by the state of local property for state purposes, and is not meant to suggest that this value of housing is the selling price of homes. This data, as well as the data for land zoned for industrial and manufacturing purposes, was also obtained from the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission.

¹³ A variation of multiple regression, stepwise regression provides a means of choosing independent variables which will provide the best prediction possible with the fewest independent variables. This regression routine chooses the single variable that best predicts the value of the dependent variable, and then proceeds to select other variables in order of their ability to predict the dependent variable best, in conjunction with variables already included in the model. In this instance, variables are no longer included, once they no longer add five per cent explained variance to the equation. See Nie, Norma H., Bent, Dale H., and Hull, C.
