ABSTRACT
This is the first large scale community-level study describing the characteristics of communities where Registered Sex Offenders (RSO's) are more likely to live. This study presents RSO residence data from ten states, combined with census data. Zip code characteristics (e.g., income, race/ethnicity, percent of population under 18) were then used in bivariate analyses and negative binomial regression analyses to determine which community factors predicted RSO residency. Lower median household income predicted higher rates of RSO's in nine of the ten states. These effects were large, with the rate of RSO's dropping about two percentage points per $1000 in increased median household income. Other community characteristics were found to have smaller effects on a state by state basis.
