ABSTRACT
Our paper evaluates the effects of different types of neighborhood-level inter-personal relationships on
perceived neighborhood disorder through use of collective efficacy, social networks and pro-social
behavior measures. Social organization and neighborhood research argues that frequent social interaction
and trust significantly decrease disorder. To test potential differences from the type of neighborhood
interaction we use the Columbus (Ohio) Neighborhood Survey, which includes network nomination,
collective efficacy and organizational participation data. We use OLS regression techniques to find that
collective efficacy significantly increases positive neighborhood impressions among residents.
Additionally, we find that frequent contact through social networks insignificantly influences
neighborhood impressions and mixed results regarding pro-social behavior. Our results add to the
growing neighborhood effects literature by suggesting that the level of interaction within a neighborhood
has dissimilar effects on residents’ impressions.
