  • Notes: The sample includes 125,466 households and 5,279 communities. Each household chooses from 20 communities. Household types—log household income and husband age—are demeaned. Coefficients of the interaction between additional community or neighborhood characteristics and household characteristics are suppressed in this table. These coefficients are reported in Online Appendix Table E.3.
