What is Do neighborhoods matter?: Place, race and economic opportunity in the Washington Metropolitan Area (The 1998 Lefrak monograph) about?

Where we choose to live matters-not only for our own families but for the future of the metropolitan region as a whole. The neighborhoods in which we live not only affect our day-to-day quality of life, but may also determine our risk of being victimized by crime and violence, the quality of our children's public education, and our access to jobs, income, and wealth accumulation. At the same time, our individual location choices shape the social and economic geography of the urban region. One by one, families' individual decisions about where to live add up, determing the racial and ethnic composition of neighborhoods, the relative affluence of communities across the region, homeownership rates, house values, and the tax base of local governments. -- Introduction
