The standard deviation of racial isolation was 0.17 for non-Hispanic white patients and 0.23 for non-Hispanic black patients. For purposes of comparison, odds ratios are presented per 0.20 racial isolation units. Patient data obtained from electronic health records in the Duke Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse for 2007–2011. Data on racial isolation determined by 2010 US census block of residence.
