Hypothesis
A lower limit to dwelling density, a point beyond which people will not willingly crowd themselves, and a basic need for shelter from the elements will be positively associated with dwelling floor area per person (8)
Note
This is a descriptive hypothesis, however Brown asserts that there is no correlation between these two variables and dwelling floor area (35).
