School Leaving: A Longitudinal Perspective Including Neighborhood Effects.
Ensminger, Margaret E.; And Others
Child Development, v67 n5 p2400-16 Oct 1996
Examined whether neighborhoods influenced the likelihood of high school graduation for a cohort of African-American children who were followed from 1966 to 1993. Found that living in a poverty census tract did not seem to influence the likelihood of high school graduation or school leaving over and above the impact of family and individual characteristics.
