Abstract
Growing levels of suburban poverty and socioeconomic heterogeneity have led to increased interest in processes of suburban neighborhood decline. Most studies in this vein have used age as a predictor of decline, only to discover that neighborhoods and suburbs built in the post-war period are faring worse than neighborhoods built before or since. This suggests that age might not be the best predictor of decline. This study uses a cohort approach instead and focuses on the initial status of the neighborhood as a predictor of decline and turnover. Using longitudinal data with contingency tables and logistic regression, I examine the relationship between initial status, cohort, and future status outcomes and argue that the period in which a neighborhood was built influences its future status outcomes. I also argue that initial status influences the likelihood of decline, although this effect may be mediated by neighborhood characteristics.
