Quantitating Non-Zero Autocorrelation to Determine Moran's I Coefficients for Mapping Clustering Tendencies of Fast Food Restaurants in Lower SES Neighborhoods in Hillsborough County, Florida

Nathanael Stanley, Samuel Alao and Benjamin Jacob

This research utilizes a similar method, using what may prove to be more precise spatial statistics to determine clustering tendencies and economic data to assess their location in relation to low income areas. It is also important to note that race/ethnicity is not included in this research; rather it focuses on designation of population density and persons living at or below poverty level. This research provides a way to spatially determine if fast food restaurants are more prominent in low socioeconomic areas.
