Predicted increases in injury crash risks due to specified outlet density changes

Type of outlet density change: All injury
crashes
HBD injury
crashes
SVN injury
crashes
(A) 10% rise in all types of outlets: 2.82% 2.49% 0.43%
(2.30%, 3.34%) (1.66%, 3.31%) (−0.43%, 1.27%)
(B) 10% rise in a single outlet category:
  -- Bars only 1.40% 4.26% 10.30%
(0.48%, 3.10%) (1.36%, 15.56%) (2.18%, 76.78%)
  -- Restaurants only 1.18% −2.41% 5.95%
(−0.15%, 2.54%) (−7.36%, 1.12%) (−37.13%, −0.48%)
  -- Off-Premise only 0.48% 0.04% −3.37%
(−0.36%, 1.26%) (−4.80%, 1.95%) (−28.98%, 0.43%)
(C) Covariates’ contributions to “bars only” effects above:
  -- Overall density in local block group 0.03% 0.03% −0.01%
  -- Overall density in adjacent block groups 0.11% 0.08% −0.01%
  -- Overall density at city level 0.12% 0.13% 0.07%
  -- Proportion bars in local block group 0.01% 0.09% 0.00%
  -- Proportion bars in adjacent block groups 0.02% 0.24% 0.16%
  -- Proportion bars at city level 1.16% 3.53% 9.98%
  -- Proportion restaurants in local block group −0.01% 0.01% 0.01%
  -- Proportion restaurants in adjacent block groups −0.04% 0.05% 0.01%
  -- Proportion restaurants at city level 0.02% 0.09% 0.10%

Estimated effects calculated based on sample mean outlet densities. A 10% increase in all outlet types (part A) would not affect the proportions of those outlets that are bars or off-premise outlets. A 10% change in a given outlet category (part B) will raise total density by less than 10%, and will raise the proportion of outlets for the given category but reduce it for other outlet types. Part C demonstrates the contribution of individual outlet covariates to part B’s estimates of the effects of raising bars only by 10%; bold type indicates well-supported contributions based on calculations of sampled MCMC iterations across analyses. Credible intervals shown in parentheses in parts A and B.
