摘要	Abstract As inequality rises in the United States, the rich and poor are increasingly unlikely to interact with one another. We use data on “311” calls reporting homeless individuals in New York City between 2010 and 2016 to determine whether the rich are more likely to see or interact with the unsheltered homeless population. Calls reporting a homeless encampment to police and calls requesting social service assistance for a homeless individual are respectively 0.9 percent and 1.2 percent more frequent for every one percent increase in a neighborhood’s median income. These relationships are partly mediated by the concentration of subway station entrances in more affluent areas, suggesting that public transportation may play a role in bringing the rich and the homeless together. We also examine the response by police to encampment calls and by social service workers to assistance calls. Police response times are faster, and social service response times are slower in more affluent neighborhoods. To the extent that these responses disproportionately discourage interactions between the rich and the homeless, we find that they are attributable to broader measures of police efficiency across neighborhoods, and differences across, rather than within, the nonprofit organizations that respond to social service requests.
