Figures 5 and 6 present the spatial distribution of the calculated entropy (EI) and mixed density (MDI) values at the census tract level. The EI maps suggest a similar pattern in the two CMAs where land use mixing is relatively low. The maximum EI index in the two CMAs is very close (0.36 and 0.35) and so is the average (0.16 and 0.15), as shown in Table 3. Interestingly, the Moran’s I statistic for the EI values in the two CMAs is positive, and it has relatively the same magnitude. As such, the entropy values appear to exhibit some clustering over space.
