Black-White Segregation, Discrimination, and Home Ownership

Black-white residential segregation and physical activity.

This multilevel study explores the potential relationship between Black-White residential segregation and physical activity. It combines data on physical activity from the 2001 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a national telephone survey of adults overseen by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with a measure of racial segregation. Using hierarchical linear ...

More segregated cities have robustly larger black-white gaps in average SAT scores and in other measures of educational achievement. Using an estimator derived from “control fu...
