Note. CI = confidence interval. Interactions of each neighborhood term with age (to assess impact on linear slope) and with age-squared (to assess impact on quadratic slope) were dropped because they were not statistically significant at the .05 level. All analyses controlled for race/ethnicity, parent education, family structure, the number of times the student moved across the five waves of data collection, the type of address geocoded and the precision of the geocode.
