Neighborhoods play a central role in upward mobility because they affect households’ stability and well-being and their access to social and economic opportunities. Neighborhoods are where children experience critical stages of socioemotional and physical development, social ties form, and people access resources and life opportunities. Being able to find and afford quality housing, living in a diverse community where one feels welcomed and respected, and having equitable access to local resources are all essential aspects of opportunity-rich and inclusive neighborhoods.
