thanks for the response we are talking about 7 cities. If I run a two-way anova, I find the residuals skewed and non-normal. I'll try the rlm method and see what happens. Thanks to all of you for the support.

David's advice is sound, but also investigate proportional odds models (e.g., lrm in Prof. Harrell's rms package) in case the 'usual' approach comes up short. It would be helpful to know the number of response categories and some idea of the number of cities-of-birth under study, though...
