distributional

Relating to allocation

Distributional describes how something is spread out or allocated across a space, population, or category.

In economics, distributional effects concern how resources or costs fall across different groups: The tax has regressive distributional consequences.

In linguistics, distributional analysis examines where words or sounds can appear in relation to others.
