Extended Data Table 2 Correlations between Social Capital Measures and Upward Income Mobility

From: Social capital I: measurement and associations with economic mobility

  1. This table reports county-level and ZIP-code-level univariate correlations between upward income mobility and the full set of social capital measures we construct in this paper, expanding upon the subset shown in Fig. 3a. All correlations are weighted by the number of children born to parents with below-median income as reported in the Opportunity Atlas72. Standard errors (reported in parentheses) are clustered by commuting zone for county-level correlations and by county for ZIP code-level correlations. For definitions of the variables used in this table, see the notes to Fig. 3; the Economic Connectedness, Cohesiveness, and Civic Engagement sections of Main Text and Methods; and Supplementary Information A.5.3 and B.2. Asterisks indicate the level of significance: *5%, **1%, ***0.1%.
