# momepy.edge_node_ratio¶

momepy.edge_node_ratio(graph, radius=5, name='edge_node_ratio', distance=None)[source]

Calculates edge / node ratio for subgraph around each node.

Subgraph is generated around each node within set radius. If distance=None, radius will define topological distance, otherwise it uses values in distance attribute.

$\alpha=e/v$

where $$e$$ is the number of edges in subgraph and $$v$$ is the number of nodes in subgraph.

Parameters
graphnetworkx.Graph

Graph representing street network. Ideally genereated from GeoDataFrame using momepy.gdf_to_nx()

number of topological steps defining the extent of subgraph

namestr, optional

calculated attribute name

distancestr, optional

Use specified edge data key as distance. For example, setting distance=’weight’ will use the edge weight to measure the distance from the node n.

Returns
Graph

networkx.Graph
