„.• <br /> 0 6 E <br /> • <br /> • <br /> number in the rating. A good example is Byrdsville which has a magnitude scale of <br /> 3 in column 2 and in the same column 54% of the units needs housing assistance, so <br /> the calculation will be 3 X 54% 1.6 rating. A different procedure was used for „ <br /> the "Yes” and "No" answers. This information was given a quantitative value. For <br /> example, in the Cheeks/Miles Area there is water service, but no sewer service. <br /> For water service a quantitative value of 0% was given, and for sewer service a <br /> quantitative value of 100% was given. Since each factor has a magnitude rating of <br /> 1, the magnitude rating was multiplied by either 0% or 100% which gave a product • <br /> - of 0 or 1. After each factor in each target area was- rated, each factor rating <br /> • was added together for every target area (shown in column 11). Column 11 gives an <br /> overall rating of the target areas. The areas were ranked by giving the highest <br /> • rating a 1 ranking, the next highest rating a 2 ranking, and so on (shown- in column <br /> 12). <br /> The fifth step was checking the chart for consistency making sure each column <br /> utilized the same calculation procedures and making sure that each number has an <br /> equal amount of value when it was changed to a percentage. <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> t <br /> • <br /> I . <br /> _ . . • • <br />
