| 30-Sep-19 | 200.48 | 136.14 | 2.37% | 328.58 |
What is the interpretation of coefficient for population?
| Every 1 million increase in population will cause home price index to decrease by approximately 0.59 points. | ||
| Every 0.59 million increase in population will cause home price index to decrease by approximately 1 point. | ||
| Every 0.59 million increase in population will cause home price index to increase by approximately 1 point. | ||
| Every 1 million increase in population will cause home price index to increase by approximately 0.59 points. |
