Table 5 The association between individual and area-aggregated (1,000 square meter areas) self-assessments of Scania Green Score (SGS), objective GIS-based assessments of number of green neighborhood qualities and neighborhood satisfaction (N = 21,665) and vitality (N = 20,855).

  1. Effect estimates are per unit increase in the index scores and the ordinal regression model was adjusted for sex, age, educational level, economic difficulties, country of origin and type of residence. Results are presented for both unstandardized and standardized (by mean and standard deviation) scores. For area-aggregated SGS results are presented both for single-level and multilevel models.
