P-value: ^‡ < 0.01; ^† < 0.05 based on crude multi-level logistic regression models accounting for spatial autocorrelation.

^aComparisons made for: state of LA versus LA county; males versus females; race listed versus White race; lowest versus highest education level.

^bExact logistic regression used for STI–income association given the extremely small cell sizes.

^cControlling for car ownership.
