Abstract

We appreciate Dr. Jackelyn Hwang's comments on our paper in which we compared a virtual audit of Detroit, Michigan, using data from Google Street View (Google, Inc., Mountain View, California) with an in-person audit of the same city. Broadly, we concur with her observations regarding the benefits and limitations of virtual audits and share her excitement regarding how the technique might be leveraged in the future. We elaborate here on key points raised by Dr. Hwang, emphasizing decision points relevant to future research using virtual audits.
