After reading Prof. Wong’s article, I realize that poor housing conditions seem greatly impact the deprivation level of residents. If I am going to see the mean scores of different housing types, say, private rental housing, private-owned housing, public rental housing, and subsidized homeownership housing, what kind of statistical analysis shall I use?
