housing {MASS}R Documentation

Frequency Table from a Copenhagen Housing Conditions Survey

Description

The housing data frame has 72 rows and 5 variables.

Usage

housing

Format

Sat
Satisfaction of householders with their present housing circumstances, (High, Medium or Low, ordered factor).
Infl
Perceived degree of influence householders have on the management of the property (High, Medium, Low).
Type
Type of rental accommodation, (Tower, Atrium, Apartment, Terrace).
Cont
Contact residents are afforded with other residents, (Low, High).
Freq
Frequencies: the numbers of residents in each class.
