Description:
In this paper, we capitalize on the addition of geocodes for Head Start centers in which children were randomly assigned to address questions about the role of neighborhood characteristics in moderating impacts of assignment to the Head Start program. Specifically, we explore the extent to which impacts of assignment to Head Start on outcomes for children vary by the availability of alternative child care options as well as the presence of community crime and neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage.
