%X In Getis and Paelinck (L¡¯Espace G¨¦ographique, 2004, No 1) someanalytical indices for geographic patterns were proposed; one of them was a Chaitin conditional complexity index, c, based on the observed coordinates. This index was reanalyzed, and showed a large variability as a function of those coordinates.A new index of  peakiness , p, is proposed, tested, and applied to French data relating to  upper  employment in 37 areas of the Rh ne-Alpes region (centered around Lyons).
