tion f(. . .) denotes “is a function of . . . .” For the moment we ignore the
thorny question about what geographic entity delineates n. We posit that
1. Neighborhood n Context during t = f(Socioeconomic and Demographic
Characteristics and Behaviors of all j in n during t; Social Relationships
among j in n during t; Other Institutional, Political, Environmental,
and Topographical Characteristics of n during t)
2. Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics and Behaviors of
all j in n during t = f(Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics
and Behaviors of all j in n at start of t; Who Moves Into
n during t; Who Moves Out of n during t; Neighborhood n Context
during t; Duration of Exposure of j to n; Stability of Neighborhood n
Context from prior periods through t)
3. Social Relationships among j in n during t = f(Socioeconomic and
Demographic Characteristics and Behaviors of all j in n at start of t;
Who Moves Into n during t; Who Moves Out of n during t; Neighborhood
n Context during t; Stability of Neighborhood n Context from
prior periods through t; Social Institutional Infrastructure)
4. Who Moves Into n during t = f(Socioeconomic and Demographic
Characteristics and Behaviors of all j in n during t; Other Institutional,
Political, Environmental, and Topographical Characteristics
of n during t; Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics
and Behaviors of Other Neighborhoods besides n during t; Socioeconomic
and Demographic Characteristics and Behaviors of all j
in Metro Housing Market at Start of t; Other Structural Characteristics
of Metro Area Transport Systems, Energy Costs, and so forth)
5. Who Moves Out of n during t = f(Socioeconomic and Demographic
Characteristics and Behaviors of all j in n during t; Other Institutional,
Political, Environmental, and Topographical Characteristics
of n during t; Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics
and Behaviors of Other Neighborhoods besides n during t; Other
Structural Characteristics of Metro Area, Transport Systems, Energy
Costs, and so forth)
6. Duration of Exposure of j to n = f(Who Moved Into n during t; Who
Moved Out of n during t)
7. Stability of Neighborhood n Context from prior periods through t =
f(Who Moved Into and Out of n during t; Who Moved Into and Out of
n prior to t; Changes in Other Institutional, Political, Environmental,
and Topographical Characteristics of n during t and prior to t)
