This study investigates the diversity of neighborhood types in which green spaces, particularly parks, are either concentrated or sparsely distributed across different segments of society in New York City. Using a latent profile analysis, the study presents a probabilistic classification of neighborhood typologies based on various combinations of multiple explanatory factors related to their socioeconomic characteristics as well as green space provision indices. Findings reveal that not all parks are designed equally nor do they have uniform impacts on certain social groups and places, but the distribution patterns of parks exhibit complex variations across a geographically and socially diverse collection of neighborhoods in New York City. The findings and methodology of this study can offer valuable reference data for policymakers and urban planners to establish more appropriate and context-sensitive solutions for urban greening and green space development that better address the diverse needs of various socioeconomic groups.

本研究调查了社区类型的多样性，其中绿色空间（尤其是公园）集中或稀疏地分布在纽约市社会的不同阶层。该研究使用潜在概况分析，根据与其社会经济特征相关的多个解释因素的各种组合以及绿地提供指数，提出了邻里类型的概率分类。调查结果表明，并非所有公园的设计都相同，它们对某些社会群体和地点的影响也不尽相同，但公园的分布模式在纽约市地理和社会多元化的社区集合中表现出复杂的变化。
