Hi Christopher, You are right, there are not many examples out there of using Julia for agent based models, at least as far as I can see.
I am not sure if you know about this one, but in the excellent QuantEcon website, they give an example of Schelling's model of segregation with some example code. http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/QuantEcon/QuantEcon.applications/blob/master/schelling/schelling_solutions_jl.ipynb But I think maybe what you are trying to do is a little bit more than this, but just thought I would mention this example in case you hadn't seen it.
