Table 2:

Predictors associated with the odds of an incident at a toxic site

Predicting the Likelihood of an Incident at a Toxic Site (yes vs no)
Reference: SES Index Quintile 5	Adjusted odds ratio* (95% confidence interval)
SES Index Quintile 4	0.55 (0.27 – 1.10)
SES Index Quintile 3	0.57 (0.27 – 1.18)
SES Index Quintile 2	0.29 (0.13 – 0.65)
SES Index Quintile 1	0.27 (0.13 – 0.59)
Proportion White Race	1.02 (1.01–1.04)
Log+1 transformed Flood Height at Toxic Site	1.20 (0.74 – 1.94)

^*Model was adjusted for quintile of SES status, flooding at the toxic site location, and proportion of White residents in the census tract. Models incorporated random effects using a spatial variance Gaussian structure.

Note: A score of 1 corresponds to the lowest SES quintile and a score of 5 represents the highest SES quintile.
