Pearson Correlations among Measures of Socioeconomic Status among Blacks (N=4,943)

Household income divided by FPL Education - less than HS Community SSS National SSS Tract Level Gini Coefficient Neighborhood Affluence Neighborhood Race/ethnicity Concentration Residential Instability
Household income divided by FPLa 1
Education - less than HSb −0.21*** 1
Community SSSc 0.14*** −0.02 1
National SSSc 0.13*** −0.01 0.82*** 1
Tract Level Gini Coefficient −0.20*** 0.16*** −0.02 −0.04** 1
Neighborhood Affluence 0.24*** −0.17*** 0.04** 0.05*** −0.56*** 1
Neighborhood Race/Ethnicity Concentration 0.07*** −0.08*** −0.08*** −0.05** −0.22** 0.24*** 1
Residential Instability −0.08*** −0.06*** −0.12*** 0.11*** 0.20*** −0.30** −0.12*** 1

Note:

a

Continuous household income/FPL variable

b

The point-biserial correlation coefficient is reported between the dichotomous education variable and all other variables, which are continuous. The point-biserial coefficient is a special case of the Pearson correlation coefficient.

c

SSS: Subjective Social Status
