white and black ethnic groups live. We measure neighborhood characteristics with
exposure indices (P*). These exposure indices refer to the neighborhood
characteristics experienced by the average member of a given group. For
example, the value for median household income for Iranians in 2000 is
$56962. This indicates that the average Iranian lives in a neighborhood
where the median household income is $56962. Similarly, the value for
percent homeowner for Afro-Caribbean in 2000 is 58.1%, this indicates that
the average Afro-Caribbean lives in a neighborhood where 58.1% of the
residents own homes. For comparison, we have also included these
neighborhood characteristics for the average non-Hispanic white,
non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, and Asian person.
