We examine the effects of education, unemployment, and racial segregation on age-, sex-, and race-specific mortality rates in racially defined Chicago community areas from 1989 to 1991. Community socioeconomic factors account for large observed areal variations in infant and working-age mortality, but especially working-age mortality for the black population. For black men, the mortality consequences of living in economically distressed communities are quite severe. Segregation effects on mortality are more modest and largely operate through neighborhood socioeconomic conditions, although some direct effects of segregation on mortality for blacks are apparent.
我们研究了1989年至1991年期间，教育、失业和种族隔离对芝加哥按种族划分的社区地区特定年龄、性别和种族死亡率的影响。社区社会经济因素在很大程度上解释了观察到的婴儿和工作年龄人口死亡率在地区上的巨大差异，尤其是黑人工作年龄人口的死亡率。对于黑人男性来说，生活在经济困难社区的死亡后果相当严重。种族隔离对死亡率的影响较为温和，主要通过邻里社会经济状况发挥作用，不过种族隔离对黑人死亡率的一些直接影响也很明显。
