Schmitt (1966) found that mental health was better in a high-density Italian neighborhood (Boston's North End) than in comparable lower-density areas.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Schmitt (1966) found no negative correlation between neighborhood density and social indicators of mental health.finding0.850
  Disconfirmation of the simplistic assumption that high density always damages mental health.
• Yodan Rose's North Beach study found high rank-order correlation (Kendall's rho) between different people's diagnoses of good and bad places along streets in North Beach, San Franciscofinding0.739
  Empirical evidence that neighborhood quality diagnosis is objective rather than merely a matter of opinion.
• The health or lack of health of various places in a neighborhood, meter by meter, is widely recognized, felt more or less the same by everyone, and is an objective reality — not a matter of opinionclaim0.725
  Alexander's assertion that neighborhood quality assessment is objective, supported by Yodan Rose's study.
• Yodan Rofe found astonishing degrees of agreement among people about damaged places and needed actions in San Francisco neighborhoodsfinding0.695
  Empirical evidence that people can reliably agree on what enhances or damages wholeness, supporting the operational feasibility of structure-preserving unfolding.
• The common 1970s–1980s US practice of placing motels and apartment buildings over at-grade parking was the cheapest option but caused serious damage to the living structure of the pedestrian world and community fabricfinding0.691
  Concrete example of a profit-oriented pattern damaging wholeness
• Each of the four examples (doll, Julian Street Inn, West Dean bench, Linz alcoves) has the minimal structure for its situation that carries weight of feeling.claim0.686
• Stress-sharing populations reach anatomical targets faster than hardwired or non-sharing populations.finding0.683
  Populations with stress sharing discovered correct morphology by generation 500, vs non-sharing and hardwired (p≪0.01).
• Sommer and Craik 1967: stories written in windowless rooms scored objectively more depressed by independent raters than those written in rooms with windowsfinding0.683
  Empirical precursor cited as first hint of a method where observer wholeness is the crucial instrument
