St Century Economic Development: An update on remote work and household income
This study replicates Gallardo and Whitacre’s (2018) finding that remote work was positively associated with median household income using 2020–2024 American Community Survey data at the Census tract level. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated remote work, with the share of workers primarily based at home rising from 5.2% (pre-pandemic) to 15.1% by 2024. This sharp increase warrants an updated examination of this relationship. Using Ord…
An unexpected digital divide? A look at internet speeds and socioeconomic groups
As societies and economies continue to digitize, the need to understand the digital divide beyond binary availability or adoption metrics is increasing. Understanding the quality and performance of home internet—measured by internet speeds—among different socioeconomic groups contributes to the complex digital equity landscape at a time when all U.S. states and territories are completing digital equity plans. Using 2021 speed test data from Ookla…
Factors That Influence Urban Recruits’ Persistence to Pursue Police Careers in a Negative Occupational Climate
The decision to become a police officer is often influenced by diverse motivations that vary across individuals. In a negative occupational climate context, understanding the initial motivations of police recruits becomes essential for improving recruitment strategies and informing policy. In this study, we surveyed police academy recruits enrolled in a large urban police academy in Texas to explore their motivations for joining the police force,…

Digital inclusion and parity: Implications for community development
This paper introduces the concept of digital parity – similar levels of connectivity, devices, and skills between groups – that can lead to more digital inclusive communities. Utilizing a household survey measuring digital inclusiveness and ANOVA analysis, findings suggest that there are different levels of digital inclusiveness between groups. Differences in internet use and benefits are larger between younger and older groups. There are also di…

I Don’t Think I Have, But I’ve Heard.”: Examining Perceptions of Race Relations in the Los Angeles Police Department Among Male Mexican-American Police Officers
Male Mexican-American police officers in the LAPD were interviewed about their perception of race relations in the department. The data shows that while officers are aware of the existence of racial tensions, they do not believe or are unsure about if they have experienced racism or discrimination in the department. Respondents do describe hearing claims of racism and discrimination, mostly by African-American officers. It is argued this is due t…

The Creative Class and Economic Development as Practiced in the Rural U.S. South: An Exploratory Survey of Economic Development Professionals
The research administers an exploratory survey to local economic developers in the state of Kentucky to examine opinion regarding the creative class. We hypothesize that Kentucky officials, especially the ones from the rural areas of the state, will be skeptical of the creative class theory of economic development. However, analysis shows half of the sampled economic developers to be supportive of the creative class, and rural developers are just…
