abstract="The current study explored association of neighborhood elements to children's health and related outcomes. Nationally representative data (N = 49,513,974, ages 6-17, 51.1% Male) was used to empirically define classes of neighborhoods based on presence or absence of various neighborhood elements. Analyses resulted in a three-class model: 1) &quot;High Assets, Low Disorganization&quot; (64.57%), 2) &quot;High Assets, High Disorganization&quot; (13.51%), and 3) &quot;Few Assets, Low Disorganization&quot; (21.91%). Class Membership was differentially associated with health, flourishing, and neighborhood cohesion. <br><br>RESULTS suggest health interventions should focus on increasing neighborhood assets, decreasing levels ofneighborhood violence and poverty, and improving social dynamics of neighborhoods.<br><br>Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
