*Estimated by a multilevel ordinal logistic regression model, with the reference category being the smaller neighbourhood.

†Zero indicates less connected streets and nine indicates heavily connected streets.

‡OR calculated based on an increase of 200 NEI points.

AIC, Akaike information criterion; MOR, median values of the OR; NEI, National Economic Index.
