  1. With the use of ArcGIS software 10.4, this statistically significant results is the output for Incremental Spatial Autocorrelation tool that runs Global Moran’s I and Getis-Ord GI* tool in our hot spot analyses from 2005 to 2020. The Z-scores, P values and the confidence level bin (Gi_Bin) scores identify statistically significant hot and cold spot. Gi_Bin of + 3 and + 2 reflect statistical significance with 99% and 95% confidence level respectively. High Z-scores and small P values indicate clustering of high values. Values of the local Moran’s I index indicate statistically significant clustering with no outliers. The statistically significant peak distance value Z-scores indicates distances where spatial processes promoting clustering are pronounced
