We have negative evidence about a significant association between the following characteristics and the average distance of social and commercial contacts from the family home: (1) age, (2) family size, (3) sex composition of the family, (4) length of residence in Los Angeles, (5) length of residence at present address, (6) status as home owner or renter.
