The table reports the results of the decomposition analysis utilizing all control variables reported in Table 2. The decomposition identifies how much the disparity would be reduced (e.g. positive numbers) if the average characteristics for minority residents were equal to white residents. The "estimate" column reports the change in the disparity in terms of percentage points and the "share" column reports the share of the unadjusted disparity explained by this percentage point change. Specific control variables are reported if at least one effect was statistically significant at the 10% level.

Ref = reference category; HPRD = hours per resident-day; BIPOC = Black, Indigenous and other Persons of Color
