Rural minority populations experience additive disparities: rural residence and implicit or explicit bias. Analyses that consider race/ethnicity and residence as distinct characteristics implicitly assume that the culture, built environment, and resources of a specific population, such as African American individuals, are identical across settings as diverse as Washington, DC and Washington, GA. The South Carolina Rural Health Research Center has documented significant race/residence interactions across multiple health outcomes, including mortality. Barriers to the use of place-specific information in many Federal data sets often make detailed examination of rurality minority disadvantages difficult to document.
