In this paper, we explore different conceptualizations to represent neighborhoods in residential location choice models, and describe three alternative ways for constructing operational units to represent neighborhoods. In particular, we examine the possibility of using the census units to represent the hierarchical 'fixed neighborhood' definition, and the circular units and network bands to represent the hierarchical 'sliding neighborhood' definition. Overall, the network band definition is conceptually appealing. It also is marginally superior to the other two operational representations from a model fit standpoint. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
