Abstract
Following Gott et al. (2001), we use Huchra's final compilation of 553 measurements of the Hubble constant () to determine median statistical constraints on . We find (or ) , where the errors are the 95% statistical and systematic (or statistical) errors. With about two-third more measurements, these results are close to what Gott et al. found a decade ago, with smaller statistical errors and similar systematic errors.
