Fig.2 Rent burden distribution and median, 1990, 2000, 2010
Over the years the rent burden distribution’s variance are increased, as the median of the city’s rent burden has consistently increased. Also, clearly the distribution has long tail therefore it is not a gaussian distribution. It informs that extreme rent burdened PUMA exists and will need to be cleaned for analysis.
