Residential instability, neighborhood deprivation, and outcomes for children.

ABSTRACT: Residential instability and neighborhood conditions may shape children's health and development, but it is unclear whether all residential moves are equally destabilizing, and the extent to which moving to neighborhoods with different conditions can improve children's outcomes. Most studies estimating causal effects of these factors on children's health or development use smaller, geographically constrained, urban cohorts. In a racially/ethnically and socioeconomically diverse statewide cohort including urban and rural communities, we investigate effects of residential instability, neighborhood deprivation, and their intersection on childhood educational outcomes. We construct a statewide dataset that links North Carolina birth records (2002-2005) with lead testing data (2003-2015) and 4th
