Notes: Model includes interaction terms between sex and the following variables, neighborhood racial isolation (as measured by the percentage of residents who are non-Hispanic black), neighborhood physical disorder, and individual-level race. Hence, the coefficients for these variables are listed separately for women and men. The coefficient for male above is the main effect of sex. Disorder variable are scaled so that an increase of one unit represents an increase from 25th to the 75th percentile of disorder (the inter-quartile range). Percent below poverty is scaled so that one unit represents 10 percentage points. Population size is scaled so that one unit represents 1,000 persons.
