  1. Note: PA Physical activity. aSignificantly different from Neighborhood A, p < 0.05. bSignificantly different from Neighborhood B, p < 0.05. Activity counts/day calculated by 60 second epochs. Light intensity PA represents minutes per day with accelerometer counts per minute between 50-759. Moderate to vigorous physical activity represents minutes per day with accelerometer counts per minute of ≥ 760.
