Event History Analysis of the Formation of Los Angeles Neighborhood Councils

This article investigates the impacts of community contexts such as divergence with the city, differences within the community, and community capacity on the successful formation of Neighborhood Councils (NCs) in the City of Los Angeles. To date, 86 certified NCs out of 97 communities submitted application for certification. Event history analysis is conducted as an effective method to understand NC formation and the timing of the event. The results indicate that community heterogeneity characteristics such as race/ethnicity and income heterogeneity have dissimilar influence on the formation of NCs. Community capacity is also found to be positively related to earlier formation of NCs
