*The Moran’s I statistic indicates the degree of spatial clustering whereas the simulated p-value gives an indication of statistical significance. Moran’s I values roughly range from −1 to 1, with 1 indicating complete spatial clustering (i.e., all areas with high values are neighboring other areas with high values) and −1 indicating complete spatial dispersion (with high value areas always neighboring low value areas).
