For a sample of 41 New England cities, a sociologist studies the crime rate in each city (crimes per 100,000 residents) as a function of its poverty rate (in %) and its median income (in $1,000s). The regression results are shown.

The homeownership rate in the United States was 67.4% in 2009. In order to determine if homeownership is linked with income, 2009 state level data on the homeownership rate (Ownership) and median household income (Income) were collected. The data can be found on the text website, labeled Home Ownership.
