a few square blocks that decide your accent, your odds, and who waves back
means the area immediately surrounding where you live, along with the people who inhabit it.
from From 'neighbor' plus '-hood,' that old English suffix marking a condition or state (as in 'childhood' or 'brotherhood'). 'Neighbor' itself comes from Old English 'neahgebur' — literally 'near-dweller,' from 'neah' (nigh, near) plus 'gebur' (dweller, farmer). So a neighborhood is, at root, the condition of being near-dwellers together: the state of sharing the same patch of ground.
