Neighborhood decline is a critical issue in shrinking cities. Components of sustainable urbanism such as mixed land uses have risen as possible urban planning-based approaches to help mitigate urban and neighborhood decline. This research identifies examines if mixed land uses can help mitigate urban decline by using the tax delinquent status of single family houses as a proxy for decline in Dayton, Ohio, USA. Logistic regression models are utilized to estimate the probability of tax delinquency. The results suggest that the proximity to mixed land uses is associated with increasing or decreasing the probability of tax delinquent for single family lots. The number of commercial and industrial lots in a neighborhood also has effects on the probability of a lot becoming tax delinquent, but the specific types of commercial and industrial lots dictate the direction of effects. The existence of commercial apartment lots, retail lots, and industrial food and drink plant lots were shown to help decrease the probability of tax delinquent lots. Also, decreasing the amount of property tax applied to parcels can help to limit distress in neighborhoods. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to stymie the amount of residential abandonment in depopulating and declining cities.
社区衰败是萎缩城市中的一个关键问题。诸如混合土地利用等可持续城市主义的要素，已作为基于城市规划的可能方法兴起，以帮助缓解城市和社区的衰败。本研究通过将美国俄亥俄州代顿市独栋房屋的欠税状况作为衰败的指标，来确定并检验混合土地利用是否有助于缓解城市衰败。利用逻辑回归模型来估计欠税的概率。结果表明，靠近混合土地利用与独栋地块欠税概率的增加或减少相关。社区内商业和工业地块的数量也对地块成为欠税地块的概率有影响，但商业和工业地块的具体类型决定了影响的方向。商业公寓地块、零售地块以及工业食品和饮料工厂地块的存在被证明有助于降低欠税地块的概率。此外，降低适用于地块的财产税金额有助于限制社区的困境。本研究为遏制人口减少和衰败城市中住宅废弃数量的持续努力做出了贡献。
