Table summary
This table displays the results of Results of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) regression models for associations between selected socioeconomic characteristics and residential exposure to nitrogen dioxide air pollution. The information is grouped by Model fit (appearing as row headers), Total aged 0 to 17, Ages 0 to 1, Ages 2 to 12, Ages 13 to 17, n = 3,067, n = 2,515, n = 3,039 and n = 2,942, calculated using OLS, SAR (lag), SAR (err), 0.191, 0.037, 0.119 and 0.144 units of measure (appearing as column headers).
