Geary's C — Spatial Contiguity Ratio

Geary's C is a global spatial autocorrelation statistic that measures whether nearby areal units share similar attribute values. Unlike Moran's I, it focuses on squared differences between adjacent pairs rather than cross-products of deviations from the mean, making it more sensitive to local dissimilarity and less influenced by global trends.
