Notes: These are regressions of hospitalizations in 2005 on the average census tract characteristics from the 2000 and 2010 Censuses. The coefficients show change in the number of visits per 1,000 with a one pp change in the indicated characteristics. These coefficient estimates were used to create the predicted change in hospitalization rates used in Appendix Table 2.
For race, the omitted categories are Asian, Other and Native American. For Hispanic, the omitted category is non-Hispanic.
