ing for 39.8% of the total inertia, changed only slightly, with the first dimension
relating strongly to production characteristics of the LUU and the second relating to
water availability and quality.

The dimensions with the lowest correlation coefficients were 15 ( r = 0.72), 19 ( r = 0.74),
23 ( r = 0.74), and 3 ( r = 0.75). Figure 7.3 shows the change in inertia of categories along
dimension 15 between the January 1999 (DIM13R1) and the January 2000 (DIM13R2)
indicator measurements. Categories 39 (inputs/income for livestock = H [high]), 40
(inputs/income for livestock = L [low]), 58 (proportion traditional foods = H), 81
(hospitalizations = L), 83 (hospital visits = H), 101 (maize yield = H), 122 (per capita
income = E), 130 (potatoes yield = H), 170 (average wage = H), and 171 (wage = L)
showed the most change along this dimension.
Categories 16 (beans yield = H), 80 (hospitalizations = H), 84 (hospital visits =
L), 95 (kale yield = H), 122 (per capita income = E), 130 (potatoes yield = H), 133
(production score = H), and 136 (profitability = E) showed the most change in inertia
along dimension 19 (Figure 7.4). Among those that showed the most change along
dimension 23 were categories 16 (beans yield = H), 17 (beans yield = H), 81 (hos-
pitalizations = L), 96 (kale yield = L), 102 (maize yield = L), and 130 (potatoes
yield = H) (Figure 7.5). Along dimension 3, the most change in inertia was by catego-
ries 3 (available labor/acre = H), 35 (cost/inputs of food crops = E), 35 (cost/inputs
of food crops = L), 80 (hospitalizations = H), 89 (income/acre of food crops = E), 89
(income/acre of food crops = L), 96 (kale yield = L), 122 (per capita income = E), and
136 (profitability = E) (Figure 7.6).
Figure 7.7 shows the location of categories along dimensions 15 and 19 based
on an MCA of the 1999 measurements with the January 2000 measurements as
