Using multiple regression and measures of relative importance based on the Lindeman, Merenda and Gold (lmg) method, we identified which variables are most important to predicting measures of loneliness and SOC. Twenty-two predictors accounted for 46% of the variance in SOC and the top 10 predictors accounted for 36% of the variance: satisfaction with quality of the natural environment in the neighborhood (ri = 0.09), life satisfaction (ri = 0.05), number of neighbors one can rely on (ri = 0.05), confidence in institutions (ri = 0.05), feeling better off due to government policy or programming (ri = 0.04), feeling safe walking in neighborhood after dark (ri = 0.03), mental health (ri = 0.02), number of friends one can rely on (ri = 0.02), volunteering (ri = 0.02), and perceptions of time adequacy (ri = 0.02). Only six of these variables were also the top predictors of loneliness. These results show that both community- and individual-level variables are substantial predictors of social well-being. The effect sizes differ between models, which suggests that there may be important predictors of loneliness that we have not accounted for.
