Ability of neighbourhood characteristics to predict perceptions of (i) median age at death (MAD), (ii) morbidity rate, (iii) personal safety and (iv) adult sex ratio (ASR) in general linear models controlling for sex, age, age-squared, education and household income. β, standardized regression coefficient. B (s.e. B), regression coefficient (standard error). n, number of cases in each model after omitting respondents who did not answer all the relevant questions.
