The *Denver Child Study* explores the extent to which multiple dimensions of neighborhoodcontext affect the physical and behavioral health, exposure to violence, risky behaviors,education, youth and young adult labor market outcomes, and marriage and childbearing ofLatino and African-American children and youth from low-income families. The study uses anatural experiment involving the Denver, Colorado, Housing Authority (DHA), which since1969 has operated public housing units located in a wide range of neighborhoods throughout thecity and county of Denver. Because the initial assignment of households on the DHA waiting listto vacant public housing units (and, thus, to neighborhoods) mimics a random process, thisprogram represents an unusual opportunity for reducing parental geographic selection bias andobserving the unusual combination of low-income, minority youths raised for extended periodsin advantaged (as well as disadvantaged) neighborhoods.
