Notes: Bold text indicates statistical significance at the p < .05 level. Est. [95% CI] columns refer to Bayesian point and 95% CI estimates for the components of the β vector described in the Analyses section.

^aPercentage increases corresponding to a 20% increase density in a neighborhood with the average density.
