Lowest Average Room Rate:  $59 - Hillside Lodge
Highest Average Room Rate:  $417 - Hotel Drisco

The graph on the right shows the typical shape of a room rate distribution for a metropolitan area.  The colored areas depict the price breaks used to classify the hotels.  Rates greater than two standard deviations above the mean for all values are considered high end outliners and are removed from the price break calculations.

For the April 28, 2008 analysis, the resulting mean room rate for San Francisco, CA MSA hotels is $171 and the standard deviation is $80.

Hotels with average rates greater than one standard deviation above the mean are categorized as deluxe.  One standard deviation above the mean is $250, so San Francisco hotels with an average rate higher than $250 are classified as deluxe hotels ( magenta ) on the map.

Hotels with average rates falling in the lower half of the range below the mean are categorized as budget.  The rate halfway between the low rate and the mean rate is $115, so San Francisco hotels with an average rate lower than $115 are classified as budget hotels (green ) on the map.

Everything in between is categorized as moderate priced hotels, so San Francisco hotels with average room rates greater the $115 and less that $250 are classified as moderate priced hotels ( cyan ) on the map.
