Abstract
It is well known that there are some distributional patterns of houses in rural areas. This paper presents a statistical method which explains the pattern by concentration indices, and applies the method to actual data of observations. The results are as follows. The concentration index is the effective method which explains the difference of distributional patterns. In case study, Saga and Hikawa-districts are presented as concentrated type and onethird of Tonami-district is presented as uniform type.
