Death by Neighborhood: Preliminary Results on Disparities in Violent Deaths by Neighborhood Opportunity With the Child Opportunity Index 3.0

The findings highlight the Child Opportunity Index's value in analyzing stark geographic disparities in children's violent death risk. They underscore neighborhood context as a key risk factor and suggest that place-based interventions could help mitigate these disparities. However, neighborhood differences in suicide mortality were minor, warranting further research on the suitability of neighborhood indices for predicting spatial variations in suicide risk.
