Chapter 9 examines how the lifestyles of the Love Jones Cohort shape their decision-making when it comes to choosing a neighborhood and how they interact with their neighbors. The choices the Cohort members make as partner- and child-free individuals are of great relevance in terms of understanding the present situation and future direction of the Black middle class. Aside from affordability, Chapter 9 discusses several factors the Love Jones Cohort consider when selecting a neighborhood, including racial composition, safety (physical and psychological), amenities, sense of community, and neighborhood demographics. Chapter 9 shows that even if they were not consciously making their neighborhood choices based on their membership in the Love Jones Cohort, it plays a key role in how they view their residential options. Generally, the Love Jones Cohort are largely unconcerned with how their neighbors regard them; yet they express how they are subject to psychological pressures related to race, class, gender, and their single status.
