Although analyses of multilevel survey data and nonexperimental results derived from static group comparisons generally produced results consistent with Wilson’s hypothesis (see Rubinowitz and Rosenbaum 2000 Sampson, Morenoff, and Gannon-Rowley 2002 Massey and Clampet-Lundquist 2008), experimental findings from the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) Study were initially less supportive ( Kling, Lieberman, and Katz 2007). Since that time, a large body of research has sought to establish the existence of “neighborhood effects” on individual social, economic, and health outcomes. In his seminal book, The Truly Disadvantaged, William Julius Wilson (1987) notes the growing concentration of poverty within black inner city neighborhoods and hypothesized that long-term exposure to spatially concentrated disadvantage was central to the perpetuation of poverty among African Americans.
