@mdb2 You and I have always had so much in common!

[American Journal of Preventive Medicine (AJPM) @AmJPrevMed]

In September: Higher median income correlated with lower #walkability among neighborhoods with majorities of all racial/ethnic groups except majority Black ones, where lower-income areas had lowest walkability.

@musiccharles @AlyTadros Hey Charles! Two places you can find academics taking this issue seriously- NYU's Center for the Study of Asian American Health, and my project, the City Health Dashboard. Also, I am about to publish some science that says what you just said, but in long-winded science words
