See Grove and Locke 2018 for details. In year 2011, six metropolitan
regions were stratified using the population density (aka Urbanicity),
socioeconomic status, and lifestage groups found in PRIZM (the
Potential Rating Index of Zipcode Markets), a commercial
geodemographic market segmentation database. Household were asked
about yard care, perceptions of environmental quality and change, the
neighborhoods, social cohesion, among other items, and demographic
information was collected. These data represent a subset for inclusion

Polsky et al (2014) and Groffman et al (2016) may also be of interest
because they contain additional methodological details and represent
the results of analyses of other questions not included in this
subset.
