Tobacco outlet density research has evolved to require a more refined examination of socioeconomic status' influence beyond median household income. This study investigates the effects of SES on census-tract-level tobacco outlet density in five predominantly White Maryland jurisdictions. Tobacco license addresses and demographic data were analyzed via t tests and spatial lag modeling. Results showed that higher SES jurisdictions had lower tobacco outlet density than lower SES jurisdictions despite similar White populations and that median household income had consistent associations with tobacco outlet density. This study corroborates findings that differences in SES correlate with differences in tobacco outlet density between racially similar areas.
烟草销售点密度研究已经发展到需要更精细地考察家庭收入中位数以外的社会经济地位的影响。本研究调查了五个主要为白人的马里兰州司法管辖区的社会经济地位对烟草销售点密度的影响。通过 t 检验和空间滞后模型分析了烟草许可证地址和人口统计数据。结果表明，尽管白人群体相似，但较高社会经济地位的司法管辖区的烟草销售点密度低于较低社会经济地位的司法管辖区，而家庭收入中位数与烟草销售点密度始终存在关联。本研究证实了社会经济地位的差异与种族相似地区之间的烟草销售点密度差异相关的发现。
