Ordinal Regression of Round Brownfields Grant Was Awarded and Correlates

Variable	β	SE	P
CAP: Population, 1990 (1 ≥ 150 000, 0 < 150 000)	−1.083	0.256	.01
CAP: City (1 = yes, 0 = no)	−1.180	0.314	.01
ENV: % Black population, 1990 (1 ≥ 31, 0 < 31)	−0.784	0.255	.01
ENV: % Own home, 1990 (1 ≥ 46, 0 < 46)	0.537	0.245	.03
CAP: City is capital of state (1 = yes, 0 = no)	−0.346	0.390	.38
ENV: Have Superfund site (1 = yes, 0 = no)	−0.160	0.220	.47
ENV: % Latino population, 1990 (1 ≥ 31, 0 < 31)	−0.234	0.368	.52
CAP: Strength of state environmental programs:
1 = strongest quartile	0.216	0.347	.53
2 = second strongest quartile	0.376	0.367	.31
3 = third strongest quartile	0.824	0.391	.25
ENV: % Manufacturing workers, 1970 (1 ≥ 31, 0 < 31)	0.098	0.222	.66

Note. CAP = capacity; ENV = local environmental factors. Initial award winners had low ranks (first, second, third year). Hence, a negative β value means a positive association with the variable. P < .01; χ² = 69.96. Variable results presented in order of statistical significance. Cox and Snell psuedo R² = 0.201; Nagelkerke = .203; McFadden = .047. Spearman rank correlation of actual vs predicted by model = 0.60 (P < .01).
