What are the 4 theoretically-deduced hypotheses about geographical and temporal variations in exterior
housing quality within the Phipps neighbourhood study area?
- Renovation- or deterioration-of-self effect;
- Contagion-down-the-street effect;
- Distance-from-riverbank effect; and
- Distance-from-core effect.
How many exterior attributes are utilized to calculate a homes overall exterior quality as a percentage above or below normal?
12
What are 4 the main findings of Phipps’ study?
- Houses’ exteriors had average “normal”
weathered conditions for Canada; - Deterioration-of-self effect and proximity-to-core effect were proven for houses located near the core such as downtown or the casino
- Distance-from-riverbank effect was observed in one neighbourhood where overall exterior housing quality linearly deteriorated with farther distance from a riverbank;
- Overall exterior housing qualities had no
observable contagion-down-the-street effect, and so, residents were not reacting positively or
negatively to their neighbours’ maintenance and improvement of their homes’ exteriors.
The baseline “normal range” for overall exterior quality houses has been shifted down for the neighbourhoods studied, why?
Because as a group, they show more signs of age.
What are 3 reasons (1970s) why houses in core urban areas in Windsor are more deteriorated than in other areas?
- Older-urban residents will move out if they can move out;
- Residents who could move in to replace them will avoid these areas; and
- Remaining older-urban residents will experience depleted housing, services and facilities.
Explain hypothesis 1, renovation- or deterioration-of-self.
There will be differences in exterior housing quality between where some residents and owners have been willing and able to fix up their houses, and others have not.
Explain hypothesis 3, distance-from-riverbank effect.
For residents and owners located on or near a natural amenity such as a riverbank have better-maintained homes than those farther away.
Explain hypothesis 4, distance-from-core effect.
Residents and owners of homes located near to a downtown/core may be less willing and/or able to maintain them; the distance-from-core effect will attenuate at an inverse rate as that of the distance-from-riverbank effect in the third hypothesis.
Why did surveys about exterior housing quality go to the wayside?
Why has there been renewed interest in surveying the exterior quality of homes?
- Because government handouts stopped in the 80s, so there was no reason to know about how (through measurement and evaluation) wether someone should receive government stimulus money or not.

- Doors Condition.
- Windows Condition.
- Porch Condition.
- Outside Stairs Condition.
- Ground Within 2M of Foundation Wall Condition.
- Foundation Wall Condition.
How are attributes baked into the overall quality score?
They’re are weighted
victimization
the action of singling someone out for cruel or unjust treatment. “we should be able to speak up without fear of victimization”
quinquennial
Recurring every five years.
μ?
The “mean” is the “average” you’re used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.
What is median?
The “median” is the “middle” value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order from smallest to largest, so you may have to rewrite your list before you can find the median.
