Racism-county-income inequity

Income inequity is measured using the index of concentration at the extremes (ICE). ICE is a measure of social polarization within a particular geographic unit. It shows whether people or households in a geographic unit are concentrated in privileged or deprived extremes. Our privileged group is the number of households with a householder identifying as White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, with an income equal to or greater than 100,000. Our deprived group is the number of households with a householder identifying as a different race/ethnic group (e.g., Black alone, Asian alone, Hispanic or Latino), with an income equal to or less than 25,000. We have computed the income inequity measure for the following groups: (1) White alone, not Hispanic or Latino : Black alone, (2) White alone, not Hispanic or Latino : Asian alone, (3) White alone, not Hispanic or Latino : Hispanic or Latino.
