The onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had far-reaching economic and social consequences, affecting economic well-being, health, mobility, relationships, and daily routines. What effect did the COVID-19 pandemic have on neighborhood social cohesion? Drawing on data from the National Survey of Children's Health, the authors examine trends in neighborhood social cohesion as reported by caregivers of U.S. children from 2016 to 2021. Despite the substantial changes spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors find that the pandemic did not lead to a significant change in perceived neighborhood social cohesion. These findings reveal the durability of perceived neighborhood social cohesion, showing that it appears to be unaffected even by sizable changes in social and economic contexts. Moreover, the findings provide additional evidence of disparities in perceived neighborhood social cohesion across social groups and contribute to ongoing debates related to potential declines in neighborhood relationships.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的爆发产生了深远的经济和社会影响，影响了经济福祉、健康、流动性、人际关系和日常生活。COVID-19大流行对邻里社会凝聚力有何影响？作者利用全国儿童健康调查的数据，研究了2016年至2021年美国儿童看护人报告的邻里社会凝聚力趋势。尽管COVID-19大流行引发了巨大变化，但作者发现，大流行并未导致邻里社会凝聚力的感知发生显著变化。这些发现揭示了邻里社会凝聚力感知的持久性，表明它似乎不受社会和经济背景的巨大变化影响。此外，这些发现为不同社会群体在邻里社会凝聚力感知方面的差异提供了更多证据，并为与邻里关系潜在衰退相关的持续辩论做出了贡献。
