In the paper: "The natural environment and social cohesion: tree planting is associated with increased voter turnout in Portland, Oregon", we explore the association between tree planting and one metric of social cohesion: voter turnout. These data and the associated program file can be used to replicate the mixed model with a random effect described in more detail in the associated paper. This data publication contains the STATA code and panel data of voter turnout by tract over time from 2002-2020. The panel data include: election turnout (for general and primary elections), tree planting, and tract-level demographic variables (race, age, and education). These data were collected to longitudinally examine the impact of tree planting on social cohesion in Portland, OR. For more information about this study and these data see Donovan et al. (2022).
