Neighbourhood characteristics and life satisfaction of individuals in lower-, middle-, and higher-income families in Canadian metropolitan areas / by Mark Brown, Jonathan Fonberg, Grant Schellenberg and...: CS36-28-0001/2021-5-6E-PDF
"Using individual-level data primarily from the Canadian Community Health Survey for 2015, 2016 and 2017 and neighbourhood-level data from other sources, this paper examines the association between life satisfaction and neighbourhood characteristics. It shows that after taking into account individual characteristics such as age, health, community belonging, housing tenure and income, neighbourhood characteristics such as transit access, parks, green space and crime are associated with life satisfaction. However, the association between life satisfaction and neighbourhood characteristics is most evident for individuals in the bottom 20% of the family income distribution. These families likely have more limited neighbourhood choice and so are less affected by processes that tend to equalize life satisfaction across neighbourhoods and by selection effects that may bias the estimates of the relationship between neighbourhoods and life satisfaction"--Abstract, page 1.
