Note: aSymbols indicate statistically significant difference from italicized group, based on bivariate OLS regression models predicting the proportion of locations outside of the residential tract. bSymbols indicate statistically significant difference from italicized group, based on bivariate negative binomial regression models predicting the number of tracts visited.

p < .10. *p < .05. (two-tailed tests, compared to italicized group).
