Purpose Death by suicide among Black people in the USA have increased by 35.6% within the past decade. Among youth under the age of 24 years old, death by suicide among Black youth have risen substantially. Researchers have found that structural inequities (e.g. educational attainment) and state-specific variables (e.g. minimum wage, incarceration rates) may increase risk for suicide among Black people compared to White people in the USA. Given the limited understanding of how such factors systematically affect Black and White communities differently, this paper aims to examine these relationships across US states using publicly available data from 2015 to 2019. Design/methodology/approach Data were aggregated from various national sources including the National Center for Education Statistics, the Department of Labor, the FBI’s Crime in the US Reports and the Census Bureau. Four generalized estimating equations (GEE) models were used to examine the impact of state-level variables on suicide rates: Black adults suicide rate, Black youth (24 years and younger) suicide rate, White adult suicide rate and White youth suicide rate. Each model includes state-level hate group rates, minimum wage, violent crime rates, gross vacancy rates, and race-specific state-level poverty rates, incarceration rates and graduation rates. Findings Across all GEE models, suicide rates rose between 2015–2019 (ß = 1.11 – 2.78; ß = 0.91 – 1.82; ß = 0.52 – 3.09; ß = 0.16 – 1.53). For the Black adult suicide rate, state rates increased as the proportion of Black incarceration rose (ß = 1.14) but fell as the gross housing vacancy rates increased (ß = −1.52). Among Black youth, state suicide rates rose as Black incarcerations increased (ß = 0.93). For the adult White suicide rate, state rates increased as White incarceration (ß = 1.05) and percent uninsured increased (ß = 1.83), but fell as White graduation rates increased (ß = −2.36). Finally, among White youth, state suicide rates increased as the White incarceration rate rose (ß = 0.55) and as the violent crime rate rose (ß = 0.55) but decreased as state minimum wages (ß = −0.61), White poverty rates (ß = −0.40) and graduation rates increased (ß = −0.97). Originality/value This work underscores how structural factors are associated with suicide rates, and how such factors differentially impact White and Black communities.

In this paper, nine indicators selected from three perspectives (convenience, environmental and location characteristics) and three regression models (OLS, SLM and SEM) are used to explore the influencing factors of housing sales vacancy in the Guangzhou Metropolitan Area, China. The results show that subway accessibility, peripheral aversion municipal facilities and distance from the CBD (Central Business District) are consistent with theoretical expectations. Subway accessibility is negatively correlated with the housing sales vacancy rates, while peripheral aversion municipal facilities and distance from the CBD are positively correlated with housing vacancy rates.

Housing vacancy can reflect the destocking degree of the real estate market. Based on the data of 57 opened residential quarters (46,622 units) from 2015 to 2018, this paper constructs a calculation formula of the sales vacancy rate and then analyzes the spatial pattern in Guangzhou’s urban district. The results show that there is obvious differentiation in the spatial pattern of housing sales vacancy in Guangzhou’s urban district, showing a higher spatial pattern in the old area and urban district and a lower spatial pattern in the core area. Subdistricts with high vacancy rates are mainly located in the east of the old area, the south and east of the urban district and near Baiyun Mountain in the north.

[Para. 1 of Introduction] The Canadian Rental Housing Index outlines that in 2018, Ontario’s rental market is as unhealthy as it has ever been (Canadian Rental Housing Index, n.d.). This is due to the fact that the supply of rental housing has not kept up with the growing demand for this tenure type. From 2011-2016, the average rate of renter formation1 was approximately 34,000 renter households per year (Urbanation, 2019). During this same period approximately 5,000 purpose-built rental units were completed CMHC, 2018). This misalignment between the supply and demand of rental housing has resulted in extremely low vacancy rates. In 2017, the vacancy rate in Ontario hit 1.6%, the lowest it has been since 2000 (CMHC, 2017). It is important to recognize that the roots of this problem in Ontario reach back further than the last ten years, but the problems have become increasingly acute during this time frame.

Food and nutrition trends cater for many more functions than simply satisfying the physical need for food. Given the fundamental significance of everyday food it seems clear that it is also relevant in urban development processes. Nutrition trends and food outlets influence the attractiveness and quality of life of neighborhoods, and therefore also reflect the development of urban space. This article aims to bring together the topics of urban development, consumption, and current nutrition trends. Attention is focused on the role played by gastronomic landscapes in urban gentrification processes and how current nutrition trends are manifested. Empirical research was conducted between 2019 and 2020 in the case-study district of Ehrenfeld in the city of Cologne. In the past, this industrial neighborhood was affected by downgrading processes. After years of decline, rising vacancy rates, and outwards migration, there have been clear signs of upgrading in Ehrenfeld since the end of the 1990s. The neighborhood is also characterized by an extensive and continuously growing gastronomic landscape, which combines a multiplicity of national and international cuisines and food cultures. About one-third of the food outlets located on Venloer Straße were established between 2010 and 2020.

COVID-19 pandemic has made adjustments to the development of the country’s economy in terms of changing its structure in the industry context. The business community will invest in industries that will maximize profits with low payback periods. Currently, at a time of decreasing automotive production caused by the suspension of the plants in the period of lockdown, the reduction in purchasing power of communities connected with the risk of unemployment occurrence in consequence of business failures, the decline in wages and lower vacancy rates, is foreseen reduced demand for new cars against the background of significant increase in sales volumes in the used cars market segment and, therefore, sharp increase in demand for car services performing technical servicing and repair. In a competitive environment, it is the client of the car service who will determine the direction of business development, which will be carried out on the basis of digital technologies.

This chapter evaluates the benefits of evidence-informed policy over anecdote through an account of the financial crash in Ireland and the effect of creating public data stories. If politicians, policy makers, local government, the banks and property developers had paid proper attention to the data, the crash may not have happened, or at least might have had a softer landing. Instead, the data were ignored. The census data showed that all the way through the boom, vacancy rates were increasing, housing completions were running way ahead of household increase, more land was being zoned than could realistically be developed, and land and property prices were overheating. As a consequence, Ireland was still paying the price and continuing to experience a housing crisis. While some oversupply still existed in parts of the country, over a decade of suppressed construction activity and rising population had led to a shortage of housing in the cities and their commuter belts. Moreover, Ireland still has an issue with property data, with some datasets being discontinued, some having quality issues, some released in non-open formats and some still non-existent.

Burnout amongst healthcare employees is considered an epidemic; prior research indicates a host of associated negative consequences, though more research is needed to understand the predictors of burnout across healthcare employees. All employees in a cancer-focused academic healthcare institution were invited to participate in a bi-annual online confidential employee survey. A 72% response rate yielded 9979 complete responses. Participants completed demographic items, a validated single-item measure of burnout, and items measuring eight employee job attitudes toward their jobs and organization (agility, development, alignment, leadership, trust, resources, safety, and teamwork). Department-level characteristics, turnover, and vacancy were calculated for group level analyses. A univariate F test revealed differences in burnout level by department type (F (3, 9827) = 54.35, p < 0.05) and post hoc Scheffe’s tests showed employees in clinical departments reported more burnout than other departments. Hierarchical multiple regression revealed that employee demographic and job-related variables (including department type) explained 8% of the variance of burnout (F (19, 7880) = 37.95, p < 0.001), and employee job attitudes explained an additional 27% of the variance of burnout (F (8, 7872) = 393.18, p < 0.001). Relative weights analysis at the group level showed that, of the constructs measured, alignment is the strongest predictor of burnout, followed by trust and leadership. The relationships are inverse in nature, such that more alignment is related to less burnout. Turnover and vacancy rates did not predict group level burnout. The results reported here provide evidence supporting a shift in the focus of research and practice from detection to prevention of employee burnout and from individual-focused interventions to organization-wide interventions to prevent burnout.

Cities are innovative places. Retail is one of the key features that better define them. In this paper, we study one of the most dynamic retail concepts ― shopping centres. Using a case study methodology, we analyse the main features that characterise the evolution of shopping centres located in the main town centre of Braga, a medium-sized city in the northwest of Portugal. Data from fieldwork conducted by the author in 2017 in 16 shopping centres was compared with pre-existent databases from 1995 and 2008. Findings of this paper are in line with previous studies on the same city and they show that a marked downward trend is affecting the large majority of the shopping centres analysed, which is reflected on the high vacancy rates and changes in the importance of some retail categories, causing structural modifications in the tenant mix and questioning the economic viability of several of these retail precincts.
