Distribution of the non-composite hot subdwarf stars over the perpendicular distance to the Galactic plane, |ɀ|. The top panel gives the number count, whereas the bottom panel displays the volume density. Median bin sizes of the fitting routine are displayed. Example fits of a hyperbolic secant profile (black) and an exponential (gold) are shown; the latter has only been fit for |ɀ| > 100 pc. The error bars are generated from the standard deviations of the positional probability distributions.
