“…The presence of high proportions of Black neighbors and of people who are struggling financially (regardless of race/ethnicity) may signal the potential for reduced neighborhood quality to young Black residents. Equating these factors is consistent with research that supports the relation between the presence of these marginalized populations and material inequity in urban areas (Hardaway & McLoyd, 2009; Reardon et al, 2017; Swisher et al, 2013). These potential signifiers are embedded within histories of redlining and discriminatory public housing policies which have reduced the quality of predominantly racial/ethnic minority and poor neighborhoods (Lipsitz, 2011; Williams, 2004).…”

The ways in which Black emerging adults perceive and evaluate their neighborhoods may be impacted by a host of social and political factors that interplay with their social identities, the social identities of other urban residents, and their time in the area. Early literature on Black emerging adults' perceived neighborhood quality (PNQ) tended to make comparisons to White people and to focus disproportionately on the perceptions of low‐income Black people residing in predominately racial/ethnic minority and underresourced communities. Subsequent work on subjective neighborhood assessment has considered specific features of neighborhoods, such as safety or disorder, but a general sense of the quality of one's neighborhood features is still underexplored. The current study adapts Connerly and Marans' (1985) PNQ model to explore the relations between social identities and locations, neighborhood sociostructural features, time in the area, and PNQ among Black urban‐residing emerging adults. Block‐wise regression results suggest that education and partner status were associated with PNQ. Perceptions of the percentage of Black neighbors and Census Bureau proportions of residents in the zip code who are poor were also associated with PNQ. Length of residence in the neighborhood was marginally associated with PNQ while length of residence in the city/town was not significantly associated with PNQ. For young Black women, combined household income was marginally associated with PNQ, but neighborhood sociostructural features were the strongest contributors to PNQ. In contrast, education was the only significant contributor to PNQ for young Black men. We discuss the ways that the social positions of young Black residents and their neighbors may impact their experiences and evaluations of urban areas.

The Opioid Crisis and Child Maltreatment Across Counties and Time in the United States, 2007–2017

Rising opioid mortality coincides with reported rises in child maltreatment since the early 2000s. I consider mechanisms that link the opioid epidemic and child maltreatment, focusing on social disorganization, the geographic and temporal patterns of opioid mortality, and community-level substance use and child maltreatment. I combine data from the ACS, CDC WONDER, and NCANDS in county-level analyses. I show a positive association between adult opioid mortality and child maltreatment that varies over time, and the results suggest a stronger association between opioid mortality and child maltreatment in high-poverty counties. Counties with high levels of residential mobility show negative associations between opioid mortality and child maltreatment when mortality levels are low. These findings bolster arguments that child maltreatment can be decreased by reducing poverty and opioid mortality and by increasing opportunities for residential mobility.

“…Particularly, Black Americans have historically lived among predominately racial/ethnic minority populations in clusters according to their socioeconomic class (Itzigsohn & Brown, 2020). Black and Latinx Americans of any given household income also typically live in lower income neighborhoods than White and Asian Americans of that same income level (Reardon et al, 2017). Thus, Black people are among the minoritized groups that are likely to experience the brunt of the negative consequences of urban stratification, including uneven distribution of resources like quality public education, and inequity may be especially salient in urban areas (Taylor Jr. et al, 2013).…”

Black Emerging Adults’ Critical Consciousness and Perceived Neighborhood Quality

We examine the relations between critical consciousness and perceptions of neighborhood quality (PNQ) in the context of social positions among young Black adults in the U.S. ( n = 524 ; μ age = 26.4; SD = 3.29). Multigroup structural equation modeling revealed that social identities, such as age and income, were positively related to PNQ for Black women. Critical reflection and critical agency were positively related to PNQ for Black men and critical action was negatively associated with PNQ for Black women. Model fit indices suggest that gender significantly moderates these associations. These findings suggest that reflection on societal inequities, agency and motivation to address injustices, and social justice-oriented actions are related to how Black emerging adults perceive and evaluate urban areas, and in different ways for Black men and Black women. Considerations for studying spatial critical consciousness and for supporting Black emerging adults’ wellbeing in urban areas are discussed.
