Description: Although most overtly discriminatory policies and practices promoting segregation – such as separate schools or seating on public transportation or in restaurants based on race, have been illegal for decades – segregation caused by structural, institutional, and individual racism still exists in many parts of the country. The removal of discriminatory policies and practices has impacted acts of racism but has had little effect on structural racism such as residential segregation, resulting in lingering structural inequalities. Residential segregation is a key determinant of racial differences in socioeconomic mobility and, additionally, can create social and physical risks in residential environments that adversely affect health.[1] Although this area of research is gaining interest, structural forms of racism and their relationship to health inequities remain under-studied.[2]
Residential segregation remains prevalent in many areas of the country and may influence both personal and community well-being. Residential segregation is considered a fundamental cause of health disparities in the U.S. and has been linked to poor health outcomes, including mortality, a wide variety of reproductive, infectious, and chronic diseases, and other adverse conditions.[2,3] Structural racism is also linked to poor-quality housing and disproportionate exposure to environmental toxins.[4] Individuals living in segregated neighborhoods often experience increased violence, reduced educational and employment opportunities, limited access to quality health care, and restrictions to upward mobility.[3,4]
