  • This is a subset of the data found in Grove and Locke (2018), to be included with a 2019 paper in PLoS One. These data contain answers 2011 survey questions:

    In the past year, which of the following has been applied to any part of your yard:

    Water for irrigating grass, plants, or trees? Fertilizers? Pesticides to get rid of weeds or pests?

    The total household annual income (8 ordinal categories), age of respondent (5 ordinal categories), and the answer to

    "About how many neighbors do you know by name?"

    (recorded in 5 ordinal categories). Two additional columns are provided to indicate the metropolitan region of the respondent (one of the following six: Phoenix, Los Angeles, Minneapolis - St. Paul, Baltimore, Boston, or Miami) and the degree of urbanicity in that region (Urban, Suburban, or Exurban).

    See Grove and Locke 2018 for additional details.
