This study analyses data gathered from surveys conducted immediately before and after 11 September, 2001, that elicit respondents' preferences for neighbourhood attributes using a conjoint analysis instrument administered via mail to two randomly selected, mutually exclusive samples of homeowners in Franklin County, Ohio. Sample demographics and income variables were similar. It is found that, prior to 11 September 2001, respondents react to an array of neighbourhood characteristics; the estimated utility model fits the data well. For the data collected after 11 September 2001, only housing density and park availability attributes are significant explanatory variables in the estimated utility model.
