Notes: Proportions for the three topics are computed by STM (Roberts et al. 2014). The base category for neighborhood type is White, nonpoor neighborhoods. Listings with rents of more than $10,000 per month are removed. For neighborhood classification, racial composition is based on the plurality racial group. We use a threshold of 30% of tract poverty rate as our measure of neighborhood poverty. Neighborhood covariates are obtained from 2016 ACS five-year pooled data. Standard errors are clustered at the MSA level.
