AB Despite the growing prevalence of mass shootings, scarce research has examined their relationships with neighborhood-level attributes such as sociodemographic or environmental characteristics. This study used negative binomial regression models to examine and compare how sociodemographic factors and the built environment were associated with neighborhood counts of single, double, triple, and mass shootings in the city of Philadelphia, PA during a six-year period (2018–2023). Effects varied both within and between predictors across models. The results demonstrate that neighborhood-level characteristics associated with mass shootings may diverge from those related to other shootings, deviating in some cases from the extant gun violence research.
