Toxic Inequality in Chicago Neighborhoods,

Abstract
This paper examines the racial ecology of lead exposure as a form of environmental inequity,
one with both historical and contemporary significance. Drawing on comprehensive data from
over one million blood tests administered to Chicago children from 1995-2013 and matched
to over 2300 geographic block groups, we address two major questions: (1) What is the
nature of the relationship between neighborhood-level racial composition and variability
in children’s elevated lead prevalence levels? And (2) what is the nature of the relationship
between neighborhood-level racial composition and rates of change in children’s prevalence
levels over time within neighborhoods? We further assess an array of structural explanations
for observed racial disparities, including socioeconomic status, type and age of housing,
proximity to freeways and smelting plants, and systematic observations of housing decay
and neighborhood disorder. Overall, our theoretical framework posits lead toxicity as a major
environmental pathway through which racial segregation has contributed to the legacy of
Black disadvantage in the United States. Our findings support this hypothesis and show
alarming racial disparities in toxic exposure, even after accounting for possible structural
explanations. At the same time, however, our longitudinal results show the power of public
health policies to reduce racial inequities.

Abstract
In light of 2014–2016 media coverage about the inadequate water and sanitation services
for households in places like Flint and Detroit, Michigan and the Central Valley of California,
this paper asks whether places with majority non-White residents in the United States
disproportionately lack access to these most basic of services. Investigating this issue
through the combined lenses of structural racism, environmental justice, and the human right
to water and sanitation, we analyze U.S. Census American Community Survey household
data at the county level. Our findings indicate strong White versus non-White racial effects
at the national and county levels (R 2 = 0.0462, P < 0.05). When the non-White population
is broken down into racial categories, places with higher percentages of American Indians
and Alaska Native households are significantly associated with lack of access to complete
plumbing facilities. Lacking access to complete plumbing does correlate with lower educational
attainment and higher percentages of unemployment, and less robustly, it also correlates
positively with median household income. The implication is the existence of a pattern of
structural environmental racism in terms of the practical accessibility of water and sanitation
infrastructure. We suspect, however, that the U.S. Census, while considered the most
comprehensive national data source on this issue right now, significantly undercounts those
lacking access to water and sanitation services. We argue that better data will be essential
in order to carry out a more in-depth analysis of water access conditions and to develop
strategies that address this issue of growing importance.
