Description

Richard Florida:

"The team developed two distinct measures of social connectedness: One, the primary index, gauges the degree to which people move between neighborhoods in roughly similar proportions (the “equitable mobility index,” or EMI). A secondary index looks at the extent to which visits are concentrated in a handful of places (the “concentrated mobility index,” or CMI). The correlation between the measures is quite low (-0.033), indicating that they capture distinct elements of city life."
