hhi_local_summary

Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) summary statistics across US census tracts, measuring market concentration for different vehicle market dimensions. HHI values are computed per census tract based on dealers reachable within a 60-minute drive time isochrone, then summarized across tracts. Higher HHI values indicate greater market concentration (less diversity). Nine grouping-variable combinations are included: for each grouping variable (powertrain, vehicle type, price bin), HHI is computed over the other three variables (make, and the two remaining grouping variables). Census-tract-level HHI values (before summarization) are available as parquet files: hhi_pb_60.parquet, hhi_pt_60.parquet, hhi_vt_60.parquet.

p_local_summary

Local market share summary statistics across US census tracts, measuring the distribution of the share of vehicle listings (p) for different vehicle market segments. Values are computed per census tract based on dealers reachable within a 60-minute drive time isochrone, then summarized across tracts. Three grouping variables are included: powertrain, vehicle type, and price bin. Census-tract-level values (before summarization) are available as parquet files: p_pb_60.parquet, p_pt_60.parquet, p_vt_60.parquet.

Variable Description
group_var Grouping variable: “powertrain”, “vehicle_type”, or “price_bin”
group_level Level of the grouping variable (e.g., “Gasoline”, “Car”, “$30k-$40k”)
inventory_type Inventory type: “New” or “Used”
listing_year Year of the vehicle listing
mean Mean local market share across census tracts
median Median local market share across census tracts
q25 25th percentile local market share across census tracts
q75 75th percentile local market share across census tracts
IQR Interquartile range of local market share across census tracts
upper Upper whisker bound (q75 + 1.5 * IQR)
lower Lower whisker bound (q25 - 1.5 * IQR)
