The Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (L.A.FANS) is a new longitudinal study of families in Los Angeles County, California, and of the neighborhoods in which they live.
Research suggests that safe, supportive neighborhoods are important for children, teens, and adults. But what makes a neighborhood a positive place to live? We are trying to answer this question by comparing the lives of children and adults in a broad range of neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles County.
The L.A.FANS focuses on:
- Neighborhood, family, and peer effects on children's development
- Effects of welfare reform at the neighborhood level
- Residential mobility and neighborhood change
We offer Public Use Data and four versions of Restricted Data. See the comparison table to decide which version is right for you.
