Abstract
► We review issues with previous health research using neighborhood analysis. ► We conceptualize and then operationalize neighborhoods using a new approach. ► The socio-spatial neighborhood estimation method is explained and then evaluated. ► Validity evidence using a large sample and multi-level models support the method. ► We conclude that the method could improve inferences about neighborhoods and health.
