Notes: These estimates were derived in three steps. In the first step, hospitalization rates in 2005 were regressed on the demographic characteristics of the zipcode in 2005 (measured by taking averages of the 2000 and 2010 characteristics in the respective Censuses). In the second step, coefficient estimates from the first step were used to predict the hospitalization rate in each zipcode in 2010 and 2005, using demographic information from 2010 or from the average of the Censuses. The change in predicted hospitalization rates was then calculated as the difference between the 2010 and the 2005 predicted rates. In the third step, the change in the predicted hospitalization rate is regressed on the change in foreclosures between 2009 and 2005. The demographic variables included were %black, white, hispanic; %20–49, 50–64, 65+; and %dropout, highschool, some college, and college. See text for further details.
