That portion of the hypothesis of median location which refers to the relationship between a mobile ecological unit and the units it serves was tentatively confirmed by comparing the apparent effect of a move of approximately 800 feet by a convenience store on the median location of the store customers. To generalize from an isolated study, it appears that even apparently insignificant physical changes in a community can have considerable effect on local social interaction
