(a)

Local racial context is modeled with local percent black as the independent variable.

(b)

Local + Neighbor Racial Context is modeled with an independent variable that incorporates local percent black and percent black in surrounding block groups.

(c)

ρ = The spatial lag term representing the association of the weighted average of race in neighboring block groups on the outcome.

(d)

These Moran’s I statistics are calculated in GeoDa without assessing statistical significance.
