Location Quotients (LQs) are ratios that allow the comparison of several smaller areas based on a base or regional area. If an LQ is less than 1, the area has less of a share of a variable (e.g. population) than the region (e.g. Pennsylvania), while an LQ of 1 denotes a similar share of the variable than the region, and an LQ greater than 1 identifies areas with greater shares of the variable than the region. For example, a census tract with an LQ of 2 or higher has at least twice the proportion of Asian residents as the state.
