I am not a statistician but I need to know of a technique to evaluate
the following:
Within a known boundary on a housing development site there are to be
built 30% of affordable homes and the rest at market prices. It does
not matter what the definitions of these are.
A completely uniform distribution of the affordable homes would be
given a score of 1.0 and complete segregation a score of 0.0. Let the
score be called "PP" - for pepper-potting.
The shape of the boundary is exactly known, the locations and types of
all the houses are exactly known.
I suspect there might be a method known to calculate the value of "PP".
Can anyone identify the method or advise where it can be found?
The reason for the request is that I am an elected member of a City
Council and the Chair of a committee which wants to objectively assess
whether a developer has achieved sufficient pepper-potting or is just
perpetuating the system of housing segregation between affordable and
market housing. The method would be applied by City officials routinely
in assesing how well the developer was conforming to City Council
Planning Guidance criteria.
