That's part of your modelling. If you're interested in the neighborhood's income distribution, then use the neighborhood's data. If you're interested in the world's distribution, then use world data.
This depends on how you want to look at the issue, but it comes down to a number yes.
- paxys 5y agoThat's my entire point. You need a (number, location) combo to many any reasonable deduction, not just a number.
- yarky 5y agoSure but that's true about any number, I can't think of any number which adds any value without some context. In statistics, your population is your context and all inference/conclusion depends on the population (local, city, world,etc). For social classes, I'd say the more local the more representative your number, which doesn't mean there isn't a number to represent the middle class.
