163. Because urban villages are not formally considered part of the urban economy-and thus excluded from regularly collected urban statistics-information about their number and spatial distribution is not publicly available. According to the Beijing Municipal Land Authority, as of 2008 there were 867 urban villages in the Beijing metropolitan area (BMA), mostly located in the city's fringes. As defined by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, BMA is 1,086 km2 in size and consists of four urban districts (Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chongwen, and Xuanwu) and parts of five suburban districts (Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai, Shijingshan, and Changping).
164. For example, cases where answers to marital status or household composition were inconsistent were dropped. Also, migrants who reported missing or zero income or rent were dropped because it could not be determined if they were reluctant to reveal personal information or if their income or rent was actually zero.

166. For all three 'interaction' indictors, the data do not allow for distinguishing between migrants and urban natives. However, 'interaction with fellow villagers' (over the past month) refers specifically to individuals from the same origin, who are by definition migrants. I use a composite score to summarize the frequency of migrants' interaction with fellow villagers. The score is between 0 and 100, 0 indicating no interactions and 100 indicating frequent interactions.

171. Missing values were handled using simple imputation, which uses the regression equation for non-missing-value cases to compute values for missing-value cases. The results are very similar to those without using simple imputation.
