Explaining Health Disparities in the Sexual Minority Population
Individual health is affected not only by characteristics and behaviors of the individual, but also by the environment in which the individual lives. Although neighborhood effects are well-established in the health literature, whether these effects are different for sexual minority populations is unknown. There is evidence that the neighborhoods in which sexual minorities reside are distinct from those in which heterosexuals reside, which could g…
Estimating neighborhood-level population characteristics from parcel data
This paper investigates how ancillary geographic data – in particular, information on land or assessor parcels – might be used to improve estimates for small area populations and population characteristics. It seeks to determine whether parcel land use codes can be used to reliably replicate population and housing distributions within small (subcounty) areas and whether other parcel attributes – in addition to land use – exhibit any explanatory p…

Uncovering the Relationship Between Historic Districts and Same-Sex Households
Problem, research strategy, and findings: Despite established connections between the LGBTQ community and historic preservation, there is no analysis of unmarried partnered same-sex households (UPSSHs) and historic districts. Here we investigate the relationship between locally designated and National Register historic districts and demographic, socioeconomic, and housing changes—specifically, UPSSHs, racial and ethnic subgroups, and median house…
Spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity in the effects of immigration on home values and native flight in Louisville, Kentucky
This article examines how changes in foreign-born populations are associated with home values and native flight in Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky. In particular, we use spatial autoregressive models (SAR) to explore the spillover effects of foreign-born populations beyond neighborhood boundaries and utilize geographically weighted regression (GWR) to tackle spatial heterogeneity that is complicating the immigrant/neighborhood relationsh…
Contemporary patterns and issues of school segregation and white flight in U.S. metropolitan areas
A geospatial analysis between the sale prices of single-family properties and the presence of registered sex offenders in Jefferson County, Kentucky
This study explores whether a relationship exists between sale prices and the presence of registered sex offenders in Jefferson County, Kentucky after accounting for observed and unobserved neighbourhood characteristics in accompaniment with property characteristics. The sale prices of single-family properties sold in 2015 were estimated as a function of the characteristics of the property, the housing and population characteristics of the neighb…
Precursors to neighborhood revitalization? Immigrant growth and urban neighborhood change in new and traditional immigrant settlement areas in the United States
Many urban neighborhoods in the United States experienced population and economic declines during the 1970s and 1980s, with some exhibiting subsequent reversals. While urban renewal is a subject of considerable research interest, few studies investigate the impact of increased immigrant concentration on neighborhood revitalization. This paper examines the contemporary immigrant/neighborhood revitalization nexus, broadening the literature in three…
Foreign-born population concentration and neighbourhood growth and development within US metropolitan areas
Immigrant populations are a major driver of growth in many US metropolitan areas, and considerable research has focused on the effects of immigrant populations on neighbourhood outcomes. However, much of this research is based on data from 1990 or earlier, prior to substantial growth in the diversity of the immigrant population and to changes in immigrants’ US settlement patterns. This research uses tract-level data from the 2000 Decennial Census…
Placemaking as an Economic Development Strategy for Small and Midsized Cities
Economic development strategies aimed at attracting highly skilled workers through investment in urban amenities are gaining momentum throughout the United States. However, most of the foundational research for the approach was tested in very large cities, both in the United States and abroad. Based on quality of place (QOP) variables suggested from previous research, confirmatory factor analysis was used to generate a set of factors for a select…
Deriving Small Area Mortality Estimates Using a Probabilistic Reweighting Method
Small area health estimates are important for studying environmental exposure, disease transmission, and health outcomes at the local scale. Yet, to protect privacy, the majority of publicly available health data are aggregated within larger spatial units such as states or counties. This article describes a method to generate small area mortality estimates from individual microdata that are available only for larger geographic entities. The morta…

Exploring the impact of dasymetric refinement on spatiotemporal small area estimates
Comparing demographic small area estimates across multiple time periods is hindered by boundary changes in census enumeration units. Areal interpolation can resolve temporal incompatibilities, but underlying assumptions of uniform population density within units is sometimes flawed and results in distorted estimates. Dasymetric modeling refines spatial precision by limiting areal interpolation to the most likely residential areas. Here, a systema…
The effect of growth in foreign born population share on county homicide rates
Validation of spatially allocated small area estimates for 1880 Census demography
This paper details the validation of a methodology which spatially allocates Census microdata to census tracts, based on known, aggregate tract population distributions. To protect confidentiality, public-use microdata contain no spatial identifiers other
