“…One set of indicators of neighborhood quality commonly used in the literature is census tract socioeconomic characteristics (Aneshensel & Sucoff, 1996;Chahine, van Straaten, & Williams-Isom, 2005;Estabrooks, Lee, & Gyurcsik, 2003;Lee & Cubbin, 2002). Researchers have consistently found a link between census tract socioeconomic indicators (e.g., percentage of individuals in a geographic area living below the federal poverty level) and outcomes for children and adults who were not in out-of-home care (Beck, Simmons, Huang, & Kahn, 2012;Deutsch, Crockett, Wolff, & Russell, 2012;Galster, Santiago, & Lucero, 2015;Gibson, Perley, Bailey, Barbour, & Kershaw, 2015;Gonzales, Cauce, Friedman, & Mason, 1996;Krieger, Chen, Waterman, Rehkopf, & Subramanian, 2003;Powell & Han, 2011). While much is known about how neighborhood quality affects adolescents and young adults in the general population, it is unclear how this translates to youth with child protection involvement who are living in out-of-home care, where home neighborhoods change frequently and connections to potential supports are frequently disrupted (Barth, Wildfire, & Green, 2006).…”
