Abstract

Urban decline has been associated with high crime rates, poverty, and deteriorated built environments [8]. Since 1958, Detroit, MI has experienced a nearly 79% decline in property values and is a particularly revealing example of urban decline [9,10]. The NDI included %: below poverty, unemployed, receiving public assistance, African American, female-headed households, college-educated, owner-occupied homes, as well as median income and home values [25]. [...]we included the following predictors of residential selection in adjusted models: Since the prevalence of our outcome was >10%, and there was small block-group level variation in PTB which would preclude hierarchical modeling (ICC = 5.7%) [29], we used modified Poisson regression models with robust error variance [30,31] and estimated unadjusted and adjusted relative risks (RR) and associated 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for the association between neighborhood tax foreclosures and risk of PTB.
