Table 2.

Environmental characteristics at baseline and follow up by move status. Results presented as median (Q1, Q3) unless indicated otherwise. P-values are from Wilcoxon sign-rank tests comparing baseline to follow-up within each move status. Bolded values indicate significant differences between baseline and follow-up at the 0.05 level. Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to compare movers and non-movers at baseline and at follow-up. Asterisks indicate significant differences between movers and non-movers at the 0.05 level. Only the number of nearby crimes at baseline was significantly different between movers and non-movers (90 vs. 77; p = 0.032).
