Social resources and resilience by neighborhood SES.
The 12 neighborhoods in the survey are divided into high and low SES based on median household income (six neighborhoods each either above or below $73,601 a year). Social cohesion, informal social control and social exchange are all measured for each individual respondent with a factor score derived from their answers to a series of related questions. These factor scores are then split at the median (high and low, as above).
