Interpretation: 26% of the region's units that are affordable at 30% of RMI are in tracts in the yellow cluster.
The yellow cluster has 1.2 times as many units affordable at 50% of RMI as would be expected given the % of all units in that cluster.
The green cluster has 3.3 times the expected number of subsidized units; 51% of subsidized units are in the green cluster.
The blue cluster has only half the expected number of subsidized units.
