The following table reports the averages for each variable by racial/ethnic group for all facilities, and those that have a low and high proportion of BIPOC residents. The stars represent if there is a statistically significant difference between white and BIPOC residents within each facility type using t-tests unless specified by †. In these cases, chi-squared tests were performed for the entire category (e.g. ownership, location, and quality indicators).

ADL = activities of daily living; ; BIPOC = Black, Indigenous and other Persons of Color; HPRD = hours per resident day.
