^aNear vs. far partition explained in SI Text S5.

^bSample sizes range from 181 to 248 but remain proportional between groups near and far from the park.

^cTest of difference is a t test for continuous variables and a χ² test for binary variables. Significance: *P < 0.10; **P < 0.05; ***P < 0.01.

^dProportion of all households.

^eAverage per household.
