Neighborhood variable Source Level Methodology
Closest recreation site distance (mi) Nashville Open Data Portal, Nashville Metro Parks and Recreation website Exact coordinates -2016 dataset cleaned to include only public parks, greenways, public playgrounds, pools, and community centers
-Baseline dataset generated by removing all sites established after 2011
-Recreation site entry points generated in ArcMap by intersection with road network
-Measures generated through network analysis in ArcMap
Number of recreation sites within 0.5 mi network buffer
Number of crimes within 0.5 mi linear buffer Metro Nashville Police Department Exact coordinates -Datasets included all incidents reported to the MNPD annually
-Only personal safety crimes (e.g., assault, burglary, harassment) were included, consistent with our prior work14
- Incidents excluded if missing coordinates
-Measure was highly associated with more sensitive kernel density estimate of crime by pairwise correlation (0.96, p<0.001)
Stray dogs per sq mi Nashville Metro Animal Care and Control Zip code -Annual stray dog counts adjusted for zip code total land area
Income inequality (Gini index) Census Population Estimates Program Census tract -Gini index connected with participant addresses by census tract
