Statistical Information

With the government document that I found it showed how they collected the data that was in the document. The HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research did a study with many different towns in the United States to get their information. The data was collected and analyzed by researchers that put it into table and charts that make it easier to understand. In the scholarly journal that I found it did not clearly state how the data was collected it only stated from research done. This is because government documents are more important, people are paid at the government to obtain all the information from studies unlike those who do it for their own purpose.
