q2 · i? · associational · r3

Descriptive analysis of moves between quintiles of the composite disadvantage index in the PSID cohort (Table 3, lower panel). The authors state these data "reveal frequent neighborhood mobility," demonstrating the need for IPT-weighted estimation.

"Only 37.53% of blacks and 16.52% of nonblacks never moved between neighborhood quintiles throughout the early life course, whereas 29.86% and 44.24% of blacks and nonblacks, respectively, moved between different neighborhood contexts at least three times."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Sustained exposure to the most disadvantaged neighborhoods from age 2 to 17 substantially reduces the probability of high school graduation for both black and nonblack children — related
• The racial disparity in long-term exposure to the most disadvantaged neighborhoods is more pronounced than the disparity at any single age — related
• The relationship between residential mobility and fifth-grade executive function is moderated by baseline neighborhood poverty: moving out of low-poverty neighborhoods is detrimental while moving out of high-poverty neighborhoods shows a marginally significant benefit — related
• Experiencing a residential move during early or middle childhood is associated with greater cognitive dysregulation (slower Hearts and Flowers response latency) in fifth grade among low-income children — related
• The relationship between residential mobility and fifth-grade teacher-reported dysregulation is moderated by both origin and destination neighborhood poverty, with moves out of low-poverty or into high-poverty neighborhoods detrimental and moves out of high-poverty or into low-poverty neighborhoods beneficial — related
• Prior research has linked moving during childhood with adverse educational and behavioral adjustment outcomes, with the disruptive nature of moving cited as the underlying factor — related
• Experiencing a residential move during early or middle childhood is associated with greater teacher-reported cognitive and behavioral dysregulation in fifth grade among low-income children — related
• Neighborhood effects on graduation appear to operate in part through neighborhood effects on parents (time-varying family characteristics) — related
• A recent reanalysis of Moving to Opportunity data found positive program impacts on girls' mental health and behavior were related to length of time spent exposed to low-poverty neighborhoods — related
• Movement in and out of social and economic exposure (mobility) across childhood has implications for educational and cognitive outcomes, with upward and downward changes differing in benefit and risk — related
• Most longitudinal studies of childhood social and economic circumstances find evidence that temporality (duration, timing, or mobility of exposure) relates to educational and cognitive outcomes — related
