†The municipal urban inequality indicator is taken from the Atlas of Urban Vulnerability (Ministry of Public Works, 2012) which use information from the Population and Housing Census 2001. This is a composite index of the unemployment rate, percentage of population without education and percentage of households without toilets/bathrooms in the neighbourhood. It further measures the deviation of each district in relation to the whole of the municipality in which it is located. In addition, similar analyses have been carry out using other indicators form the 2001 Population and Housing Census showing no significant differences between experimental and comparison neighbourhoods.
‡The socioeconomic inequality index is taken from the Atlas of Urban Vulnerability (Ministry of Public Works, 2012) which uses information from the Population and Housing Census 2001. This is a composite index of the unemployment rate and percentage of population without education. It compares our areas according with the distribution (quintiles) of this index at regional level (Andalusia) and National level (Spain).
