Characterization of Hispanic, African American, and non‐Hispanic White individuals living in disadvantage neighborhoods: the HABS‐HD Study

Research have shown that non‐Hispanic Whites (NHW) living in deprived neighborhoods, have better individual SE indicators than Hispanics and African Americans (AA) that live in the same area.
