This project examines the impact of neighborhood change (moving from high-poverty, predominantly minority neighborhoods into more affluent neighborhoods) on low-income parents and their children. Following a federal court order to remedy long-standing racial segregation in public housing and in schools, the city of Yonkers, NY built 200 units of low-rise public housing in mostly white, middle-income neighborhoods. Subsequently, a group of very low-income, mostly African-American and Latino families was moved into this housing between 1992 and 1994. This project would comprise a 2-year follow-up study of these families, who will be re-interviewed to examine short-term adaptation to their new neighborhoods. This project will permit a closer examination of the human capital and other social factors thought to mediate the impacts of neighborhood on the social attainment of families. Several factors make this an exceptionally rich longitudinal data set for analyzing neighborhood effects: the project combines the best outcome measures of previous survey studies on housing mobility with social process and social interaction measures highlighted in a long tradition of ethnographic research on neighborhoods; a quasi-experimental design is used to minimize selection bias; a large breadth of measured variables is employed; a high survey completion rate (90%) was attained at baseline; multiple levels of data collection (parents, children and youth) are used; detailed neighborhood ecology data beyond the census data typically used in this form of research is available; and the inclusion of a significant sub-population of Latinos and African-Americans is possible. The project is relevant to a number of the research priorities central to the Human Capital Initiative, especially those related to workforce, neighborhoods and families.

该项目研究了社区变化（从高产，主要是少数民族社区转变为更富裕的社区）对低收入父母及其子女的影响。根据联邦法院命令在公共住房和学校中纠正长期存在的种族隔离之后，纽约州扬克斯市建造了200个低层公共住房，主要是白人中等收入社区。随后，一群非常低收入的，主要是非裔美国人和拉丁裔家庭在1992年至1994年之间被搬进了这个住房。该项目将对这些家庭进行了为期2年的随访研究，这些家庭将经过重新审视，以检查对他们新社区的短期适应。该项目将允许对人力资本和其他社会因素进行仔细研究，以调解社区对家庭社会成就的影响。几个因素使这是一个非常丰富的纵向数据集，用于分析邻里效应：该项目结合了先前关于住房流动性研究与社会过程和社会互动措施的调查研究的最佳结果指标，并以长期的人种学研究对社区进行了民族志研究的态度；准实验设计用于最大程度地减少选择偏差。采用了大量的测量变量；在基线时达到了高调查完成率（90％）；使用多个级别的数据收集（父母，儿童和青少年）；详细的邻里生态数据超出了通常在这种研究形式中使用的普查数据；并且可以包括拉丁美洲人和非裔美国人的大量亚人口。该项目与人力资本计划的许多研究优先事项有关，尤其是与劳动力，社区和家庭有关的研究优先事项。
