“…Future studies should explore the specific mechanisms of this suppression. Our analyses add support to the body of literature, which argues that socioeconomic disparities cannot fully explain differences in racial/ethnic segregation (e.g., Denton and Massey 1988;Iceland and Wilkes 2006;Intrator et al 2016;Sharp and Iceland 2013). These results suggest overall support for the place stratification model, and that residential opportunities are unequally distributed by race/ethnicity and family structure.…”

Fifty years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act, racial/ethnic residential segregation and discrimination persist in the housing market. In 2018, the National Fair Housing Alliance reported that the third and fifth largest discrimination complaints are made on the bases of familial status and sex, respectively. However, housing research has largely ignored how family structure may shape patterns of racial/ethnic residential segregation. By assessing residential isolation, our analyses add to the small body of literature exploring racial/ethnic segregation by family structure using data from the 1990–2010 decennial censuses and the 2006–2010 American Community Survey (ACS) drawn from the Neighborhood Change Database (NCDB) and the National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS). Our results reveal that white, married-couple families experience the greatest levels of residential isolation, net of controls for relevant socioeconomic and demographic factors. In addition, our within racial/ethnic group analyses indicate that black, female-headed families experience significantly more isolation than their married-couple counterparts, while the reverse is true for Hispanic and white families. Our results provide support for the tenets of the place stratification model and suggest researchers should consider family structure when assessing racial/ethnic residential segregation as race/ethnicity and family structure interact to shape housing outcomes in metropolitan America.

“…Other studies that use a national perspective (e.g., Halpern et al, 2014; Jemal et al, 2012) can provide generalized estimates of disparity at the national level, but these can be confounded by racial or ethnic groups that tend to cluster geographically (Intrator et al, 2016). Some geographic areas with high prevalence of racial or ethnic groups are poorer areas where everyone uses less health care.…”

Breast cancer screening by mammography has been shown to reduce breast cancer morbidity and mortality. The use of mammography screening though varies by race, ethnicity, and, sociodemographic characteristics. Medicaid is an important source of insurance in the US for low-income beneficiaries, who are disproportionately members of racial or ethnic minorities, and who are less likely to be screened than women with higher socioeconomic statuses. We used 2006–2008 data from Medicaid claims and enrollment files to assess racial or ethnic and geographic disparities in the use of breast cancer screening among Medicaid-insured women at the state level. There were disparities in the use of mammography among racial or ethnic groups relative to white women, and the use of mammography varied across the 44 states studied. African American and American Indian women were significantly less likely than white women to use mammography in 30% and 39% of the 44 states analyzed, respectively, whereas Hispanic and Asian American women were the minority groups most likely to receive screening compared with white women. There are racial or ethnic disparities in breast cancer screening at the state level, which indicates that analyses conducted by only using national data not stratified by insurance coverage are in-sufficient to identify vulnerable populations for interventions to increase the use of mammography, as recommended.

“…Indeed, blacks in the top quintile of income distribution are more segregated than Hispanics in the bottom quintile (10). As a result, in addition to the discrimination, exclusion, and stigma that African Americans individually encounter as they navigate American society, blacks of all social classes are exposed to levels of neighborhood crime and violence that few other Americans ever encounter (11).…”
