Do Neighborhoods Affect Income? Yes and No: Race, Class, and Gender Heterogeneity in Neighborhood Effects Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Geocoded Data; Income; Neighborhood Effects; Racial Differences; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1979 Cohort to analyze how exposure to neighborhood (dis)advantage from adolescence to middle adulthood affects income growth from ages 25 to 50. I estimate a counterfactual model with individual fixed effects to provide potentially-causal estimates. Unconstrainted quantile regression models explore heterogeneity in neighborhood effects across the income distribution. Neighborhood disadvantage has important, but highly variable, effects on income. Neighborhood conditions are modestly related to income in emerging adulthood. As individuals mature into young and middle adulthood, cumulative neighborhood disadvantage exacts a sizable toll. Neighborhood effects are strongest at the top of the income distribution, and within the group of high-earners, neighborhood (dis)advantage only affects the wages of white males. Neighborhood effects on other demographic groups are negligible. Note: A similar paper was presented at Philadelphia PA, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2018. |
