Table 4.

Mean differences in price per 20% increase in neighborhood socioeconomic index (SES) and neighborhood proportion Black/Hispanic. Estimates were derived from hierarchical model estimates where stores were nested within counties and states, N = 1953 stores.

aPer 20 percentile change in neighborhood SES or Black/Hispanic

bUnadjusted models did not include covariates but were adjusted for county and state via model nesting

cPartially adjusted includes covariates: age, region, urbanicity, population density, supermarket density, toilet paper price

dFully adjusted includes covariates: age, region, urbanicity, population density, supermarket density, toilet paper price, and either race (in the SES models) or neighborhood SES (in the race models)
