Note. The sample size was n = 6483.
Differences in the distribution of sociodemographic factors and SES indicators across racial or racial/ethnic groups were examined using the χ2 test.
Cutpoints were chosen to generate quartiles as closely as possible in the total sample.
Quartile 1 denotes the lowest level of relative deprivation, whereas quartile 4 denotes the highest level of relative deprivation.
Quartile 1 denotes the lowest level of inequality, whereas quartile 4 denotes the highest level of inequality.
The distribution of subjective social status scores made it difficult to create quartiles; most respondents rated themselves as a 7 or 8, but there were not enough respondents with a rating of either 7 or 8 to create separate categories for these values.
