Column 5 was used as the first stage of the 2SLS regressions from Table 4. It contains the following controls: population density, the share of adults over 25 with a BA, the manufacturing share of industry, the median household income, the water-to-land ratio, a dummy for coastal proximity, the agricultural share of industry, the share of commuters with commute times over 35 minutes, population growth in the previous 10 years, the ratio of suburban to central city housing units, the median rent, the suburban to central city rent ratio, the share of homes with no plumbing, the rural share of housing units.
