The location quotient is a proportion of proportions. The typical use case is comparing local proportions to some standard (e.g. national) proportion as a quick way of understanding how exaggerated local differences are.
If the local proportion of households with children is 0.15 and the national proportion is 0.10 then the LQ is 0.15 / 0.10 = 1.5. Which is to say that the local proportion is half again larger than the national proportion.
Will use the row/proportions as the local proportions and the column totals as the reference.
