  1. 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)Brown, Barton McCaul - Population estimation from floor area: a restudy of "naroll's constant", 1987 - 3 Variables

    A restudy of Naroll's (1962) measure of dwelling floor area using theory that it is predicted by the basic needs for protection from climate and crowding. This theory is not supported by the findings but Brown posits a new average for estimating floor area in dwellings based on his sample.

  2. Controlling for climate and date of pacification does not explain additional variance between dwelling floor area and population size (35)Brown, Barton McCaul - Population estimation from floor area: a restudy of "naroll's constant", 1987 - 3 Variables

    A restudy of Naroll's (1962) measure of dwelling floor area using theory that it is predicted by the basic needs for protection from climate and crowding. This theory is not supported by the findings but Brown posits a new average for estimating floor area in dwellings based on his sample.

  3. In general, a population constant of 6 meters squared per person can be used on a sample of one or more dwellings from a single community (32)Brown, Barton McCaul - Population estimation from floor area: a restudy of "naroll's constant", 1987 - 1 Variables
