Kernel density estimates of proximity to parents show clearly differences between groups, but only slight differences between stayers locations, movers' origins, and movers' destinations. Curves are multi-modal b/c of uneven distribution of residential populations across Swedish cities and towns.

#AkadSoz25 is buzzing! Cool data, interesting research and so many thoughtful comments (thx! <3). I presented work on two projects on the gendered dimension of #neighborhoods using geodata.
Formal tasks done; I am looking forward to the conference dinner 🍷 (and to the sociological cabaret 🧐🧐)

Research on segregation often points to parental preferences, but what if it's not just about what parents want, but also what options they actually have?
