Rosario Valley Architectural Gini Coefficient and Neighborhood Dataset
The location of neighborhoods is provided in the file below. These were intermediate-scale clusters of house-groups that the authors assigned based on the house-group kernel densities and qualitative assessments, such as their proximity to civic-ceremonial architecture.The results of these analyses were discussed in Tompson et al. (2022), cited below:
