Abstract This study examines the spatial distribution of Airbnb listings in Albany, New York, and evaluates their statistical clustering using the Getis-Ord Gi* local indicator of spatial association. Listing locations were aggregated into 8,000-foot hexagonal areal units to address spatial structure and mitigate point-level noise. A fixed distance band of 12,000 feet with row-standardized spatial weights was applied to identify
