Sensitivity analyses 3: Associations between perceived criminality (by type of crime) at neighborhood level, feeling unsafe (at night) and self-rated health. Models additionally adjusted for population density
| Base model: Perception of each type of crime included in a separate model |
Variation 1: Multivariable model including thefts, burglaries, violent crimes, traffic nuisance, vandalism (excluded: nuisance) |
Variation 2: Multivariable model including thefts, burglaries, traffic nuisance, nuisance vandalism (excluded: violent crimes) |
Base model: Perception of each type of crime included in a separate model |

Results from multilevel logistic regression models (individuals clustered in the neighborhoods); Perceived safety factors are scored on the scale 0 (best) to 10 (worst). All models adjusted for age, gender, education , income
aFrequency of violent crimes and nuisance could not be added to the model at the same time due to collinearity problem
