Irvine at 50: A Tale of Continuity and Change

University of California, Irvine, School of Social Ecology Irvine at 50: A Tale of Continuity and Change • November 1 2021

Figure 4.3 Figure 4.3 displays the measures that showed the highest positive correlation with violent crime over the three time points. Neighborhoods with the highest violent crime rates were those with older housing; whereas older housing was not associated with more violent crime in 2000 (left-most blue bar in this figure), these neighborhoods had higher violent crime rates in 2010 (red bar) and 2017 (green bar). We also see that neighborhoods with more attached single family units (e.g., condominiums and town homes), 3-4 unit apartments, and mobile homes have more violent crime. Neighborhoods with more very large apartment complexes (50 or more units) had more violence in 2000, but not in more recent years. And, neighborhoods with more concentrated disadvantage consistently have more violence, consistent with a long line of criminological research.
