Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which the social networks and recreational activities of 212 teenagers living in low income public housing are associated with the social mix characteristics of the neighbourhoods in which the housing projects are located. Alternative models of housing-design, respondents' sex and minority-status are also investigated to account for variations in adolescents' social networks and out-of-school activities. The results of discriminant analyses and cluster analyses suggest that neighbourhood social mix characteristics are more strongly associated with variations in social network measures and recreational patterns than are the competing factors of housing design, respondents' sex or minority status.
