No, the disadvantage is racialized. White households at the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentile of income live in neighborhoods where the median income is a double digits percentile higher than black households at the same income level, and the effect amplifies the lower your household income is.

The Reardon, Fox, Townsend paper. You can just go read it. If you come back with rebuttals to the paper, I'd appreciate if you'd source them comparably. Thanks!

Please stop responding to every comment asking for a source, it’s incredibly unhelpful. If that’s honestly all you got from this discussion about inequality then I truly feel sorry for you.

You read the sourced paper then and your mind has been changed due to new evidence?
