Why is it important?
More than 540,000 households report lacking access to complete plumbing in the USA. But those impacted by this condition are not evening distributed across space or across racial and ethnic groups. Our research demonstrates not only which counties and boroughs are most significantly impacted, but which racial groups are most represented in those spaces. This specifies the significant impacts of longterm structural racism and environment inequality in the USA.
