Neighborhoods vary according to three dimensions (or characteristics)-identity, interaction, and linkages. Urban sociologists have used these three dimensions to label five specific types of neighborhoods. An neighborhood generally has low identity, interaction, and linkages; there is no internal cohesion and great distance from the outside world. This type of neighborhood is characteristic of poor neighborhoods where there is little connection among residents and to the larger urban environment. a. Parochial
b. Diffuse
c. Anomic
d. Integral
