The Century Lives podcast is produced by Stanford's Center on Longevity and explores the discrepancies in life expectancies across American Communities. Season 3, Episode 6 is a story about relocation. It reexamines Moving to Opportunity: a grand 1990s public housing experiment intended to improve the incomes of public housing residents. That didn’t happen (at least initially), and the program was seen as a failure. But alongside the negative results, a positive and unexpected finding emerged, with a lesson about the surprising impact of neighborhood on health and longevity.

At least one of every seven children in Maryland lives in poverty. A new analysis says the real number might be higher -- maybe one in every five children. Whatever the number is, it’s too high. Gov.

Then Johns Hopkins sociologist Stefanie DeLuca tells how helping poor families move to neighborhoods where people are doing well boosts their own success.

A working paper, titled "When Anything Can Happen," authored by Stefanie DeLuca and Nicholas Papageorge was recently featured in Johns Hopkins Magazine. This study explores the decisions low-income minority students make about postsecondary education.
