Concerned about this?

Race and ethnicity

Population by Census race/ethnicity category. Past and present structural racism has inequitably distributed resources that people need to stay healthy - like job opportunities, healthy housing, high-quality education, and health care.

Independent living difficulty (adults)

Adults reporting independent living difficulty due to a physical, mental, or emotional problem. People with disabilities may need additional support during extreme weather. For example, extra planning for safe travel out of evacuation zones during a hurricane, or back-up electricity to support medical equipment during power outages.

Foreign-born population

People born outside the USA or its territories (including Puerto Rico).

Graduated high school

People age 25 years and over who have completed high school or high school equivalency.

Jail incarceration

Adults incarcerated in NYC facilities. Each component of the criminal justice continuum - from arrest to re-entry - carries various health consequences, and a growing body of literature has documented severe adverse health outcomes for the individual, their families, and neighborhoods.

Limited English

People who do not speak English at home and/or are not English proficient.

Older adults living alone (65+)

People age 65+ living alone. People living alone may have more difficulty getting resources they need in an emergency, and are at higher risk of weather-related illnesses like heat stroke and hypothermia.

School absenteeism

Students missing 20 or more school days per year.

Social conditions

Social and economic conditions affect people’s health. These conditions (also called “social determinants of health”) are conditions that people may be born into or fall into over the course of their lives.

People tend to be healthier when they have access to:

But when people don’t have access to these conditions, they experience worse health outcomes. Discrimination based on race (and other personal or social characteristics) results in disparities in access to resources that protect and maintain health – and thus, results in unfair disparities in health outcomes. This is health inequity – avoidable and unfair health outcomes.
