| *Area level concerns neighbourhoods; random variance at individual level was fixed at “1” (assuming a strictly binomial variance); random variance at city level was captured by a dummy for each city. †Difference in deviance between a model containing an interaction of the neighbourhood measure and a model without (χ2 value and degrees of freedom; statistical significance (p<0.05) is indicated in bold). | ||||||||
