ABSTRACT
A large body of research has been dedicated to understanding the neighborhood conditions that impact health, which outcomes are affected, and how these associations vary by demographic and socioeconomic neighborhood and individual characteristics. This literature has focused mostly on the neighborhoods in which individuals reside, thus failing to recognize that residents across race/ethnicity and class spend a non-trivial amount of their time in neighborhoods far from their residential settings. To address this gap, we use mobile phone data from the company SafeGraph to compare racial inequality in neighborhood socioeconomic advantage exposure across three scales the neighborhoods that residents live in, their adjacent neighborhoods, and the neighborhoods that they regularly visit. We found that the socioeconomic advantage levels in neighborhood networks differ from the levels at the residential and adjacent scales across all ethnoracial neighborhoods. Furthermore, socioeconomic advantage at the network level is associated with diabetes and hypertension prevalence above and beyond its impact at the residential and adjacent levels. We also find ethnoracial differences in these associations, with greater beneficial consequences of network socioeconomic advantage exposure on hypertension and diabetes for white neighborhoods. Future social determinants of health research needs to reconceptualize exposure to include the larger neighborhood network that a community is embedded in based on where their residents travel to and from.
