INTRODUCTION

Although many Capital Region neighborhoods are enjoying a high quality of life, not everyone is benefiting or sharing in the opportunities. Nationally, there have been initiatives to tackle these issues through cross-sector collaboration to diminish inequalities that some of our neighborhoods experience. Some of these national initiatives include Build Healthy Places Network1, Raising Places2, Purpose Built Communities3, and ASTHO’s Building Healthy and Resilient Communities4. Local data follows national trends, showing an increase in income inequality while seeing health indicators plateauing and life expectancy differences growing. Many people in our neighborhoods face persistent disadvantages. Contributing issues combine social factors such as high levels of poverty, inadequate housing, and income burden with debilitating health issues. Living in disadvantaged neighborhoods has been linked to a number of healthcare outcomes, including higher rates of diabetes and asthma, increased emergency room visits, and earlier death. This report demonstrates that there is a strong correlation between summary Sociodemographic and Health Indicators and is intended to be a resource for those working to improve low-income communities and the lives of people living in them.

OUR RESEARCH

As part of the Capital Region Community Health Assessment process, HCDI and partners have identified 58 Zip-code aggregate neighborhoods to assess public health need at the sub-county level (see Appendix III for neighborhood definitions).Our latest disparity report examines the relationship between socioeconomic and health indicators by looking at the variation among the Capital Region’s 58 neighborhoods.

Using summary indicators such as years of potential life lost (YPLL) and area deprivation index (ADI- 17 indicators including income, education, employment, and housing quality) the Capital Region’s 58 neighborhoods are ranked with detailed analysis to show the difference in the 6 high-need and 6 low-need neighborhoods. This comparison highlights which of our communities are struggling with both health indicators and socioeconomically barriers.

Key Findings

1. Within the Capital Region,individuals living in a High-Need neighborhood have 5times higher rate for Years ofPotential Life Lost (YPLL) thanindividuals living in a Low-Need neighborhood less than 5miles away.

2. When looking at areadeprivation (ADI) 13 out of 58Capital Region neighborhoodsare worse than the U.S.average.

3. Four neighborhoods in theCapital Region fall into thenation’s worst 15% (85thpercentile).

4. There is a very strongcorrelation between socio-demographic and health status,particularly assault, asthmaand diabetes.

ADI and YPLL were chosen as they are aggregate measures of socio-economic conditions and health outcomes. Our analysis suggests that addressing socio-economic conditions will improve multiple health outcomes. This report is for community groups, foundations, health departments, municipalities and others interested in building a case for the development of place-based strategies. It demonstrates that it is critical that community, economic, environmental, behavioral, and social determinants of health be part of a collaborative effort. This report aims to spark a conversation among community partners to learn and share best practices for improving the quality of life in at-risk neighborhoods. By examining neighborhood-based data we hope to shed light on disparities that exist in our region. The report’s narrative and data hope to inspire the promotion of shaping and developing positive change in struggling neighborhoods. Community-determined efforts backed by data will encourage the improvement of health in our communities. Population health methods enable us to identify where public health needs are and which strategies have evidence of successfully reducing those needs. By examining local neighborhoods this study identifies multiple disparities between high-need and low-need neighborhood.

Health Happens in Neighborhoods Those of us in health care and population health understand that clinical care accounts for only 20% of health outcomes. In contrast, social and economic factors like housing, income, employment, and other social and economic factors drive health outcomes attribute upwards to “40% of how well and how long we live.''5 NYS Health Foundation states “Where we live affects our health in multiple and complex ways. Poor health indicators are concentrated in neighborhoods that are most disadvantaged by society’s social, economic, and housing inequities.”6 Studies on life expectancy are showing that where we live is so crucial to overall health that an individual may end up living 5 years shorter life than someone residing just a few miles away.7 In the previous HCDI Premature Mortality Health Equity Report8, high-need neighborhoods of Hamilton Hill in Schenectady (52.8%) and South End in Albany (50.4%) had over 50% of their deaths that were premature (<65 years); much higher than the low-need neighborhoods of Scotia-Glenville in Schenectady (13.1%) and Bethlehem in Albany (13.7%).

Neighborhood Distribution of Summary Indices The Capital Region Neighborhood Analysis reviewed multiple socio-demographic and health-related indicators in order to identify “high need” neighborhoods. In addition to the individual indicators, three summary indices were reviewed: Area Deprivation Index (ADI)11; SocioNeeds Index12; and Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL < 75 years).8 Of the socio-demographic indices, ADI was chosen for more detailed analysis as it is utilized more nationally, and more highly correlated with YPLL than SocioNeeds Index. YPLL was chosen as the summary health indicator as it measures premature mortality and is a measure utilized in creating the Health Outcome Rank in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’ss County Health Ranking Model.

Social Indicators Area Deprivation Index (ADI) The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was developed by the Health Resources and Services Administration. It is a measure that indicates the socioeconomic deprivation that exists in a neighborhood. The ADI is calculated by combining 17 indicators of income, education, employment, and housing quality. ADI is measured on a national scale-a score of 100 (50th percentile) is the national average. A high ADI score is indicative of higher levels of deprivation in neighborhoods.

ADI Indicators11

Families below poverty level (%) Median gross rent ($) High School Graduation Obtained Ages 25 Years and Older (%)

Median home value (%)

Owner-occupied housing units (%) Median monthly home cost ($) Households without a motor vehicle (%) Percent of population below 150% of poverty

threshold (%) Crowding Households with more than 1 person per room (%)

Single parent households with children under 18 years (%)

Households without complete plumbing (%) Less than high school education (%) Households without a telephone (%) Unemployment Ages 16 Years and Older (%) Income disparity Employed person 16+ in white collar occupations (%)

Median family income ($)

The highest ADI percentile given to a neighborhood in the Capital Region was 93% (Hamilton Hill) whereas the lowest was 12% (Bethlehem).

Health Indicators Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL)

Measuring how long people in a community live tells us whether people are dying too early, and it prompts us to look at what’s driving premature deaths.

“By exploring a county’s data related to Length of Life, we can answer a critical question: Are people living long, healthy lives? The answer to that question can highlight important indicators about a community’s health. It also reveals if people in one community are dying earlier than those in other communities.”14

YPLL is a summary measure of premature mortality and its leading causes. It represents the total number of years not lived by people who die before a given age. Thus, deaths among young people contribute more to the YPLL measure than deaths among older people. In the US, the age limit is often set at 75, so people who die before 75 have lost some potential years of life. For example, a person dying at age 25 contributes 50 years of life lost. In our analysis, we’ve set the age limit to 75. For more information regarding premature mortality, please refer to HCDI’s Premature Mortality Equity Report.

Four of the 6 Capital Region counties have neighborhoods that fall into the 4th risk quartile for YPLL.

When reviewing the ADI Percentile against the ranking of neighborhoods by YPLL, one can identify some neighborhood outliers. While Rensselaer-East had the 8th highest YPLL rate, its ADI percentile was only 40%. Similarly, New Scotland Ave. had the 11th highest YPLL rate, yet its ADI percentile was 38. On the other hand, Hudson had an ADI percentile of 59 yet only in the 2nd risk quartile for YPLL. Taconic Hills had the 6th lowest neighborhood for YPLL, yet had an ADI percentile of 44.

Premature Mortality About 1,900 deaths, or 22% of all deaths, in the Capital Region were premature (before 65 years) which was slightly higher than both the premature death percentages for Upstate, NY (21.4%) and the Prevention Agenda objective (21.8%). It is 2.5 times higher in residents in low SES neighborhoods compared to high SES neighborhoods. Top 5 high-need neighborhoods had 3 times the percent of deaths that were premature compared to the bottom 5 low-need neighborhoods (48.5% vs 16.0%).8

High Need/Low Need Neighborhood Comparisons

We utilized the Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL< 75 years) rates to identify the Top 6 “High Need”, and Bottom 6 “Low Need” Neighborhoods. High-Need neighborhoods show major socio-demographic issues compared to their Low-Need counterparts. High Need neighborhoods had 10.7 times higher SocioNeeds Index and 4.6 times higher ADI percentile. They had between 3.6 and 5.5 times higher percent of population below various poverty levels. High Need neighborhoods had almost 20 times higher percent of the population that was Black and 3 times higher Hispanic/Latino population. They had 4 times the population without a high school education.11, 12, 13, 17

As with the socio-demographic indicators, there are also major differences in health-related indicators between the High Need and Low Need neighborhoods. High need neighborhoods had 13.9 times the assault hospitalization rate and 9.7 times the assault ED visit rate compared to Low Need neighborhoods. They had 10.9 times higher asthma ED visit and 6.2 times the asthma hospitalization rate. High Need neighborhoods also had 10.4 times higher teenage pregnancy rates compared to their Low Need counterparts.13, 17

Conclusion Communities are made up of many interconnected, moving parts. Data shows equality, prosperity, and well-being of communities are deeply interdependent. The barriers that exist in health and opportunity are problematic and complex. They are bigger than any one organization or solution can address alone. We must revive divested places on multiple fronts. Useful information must be made available to the community to mitigate the barriers caused by socioeconomic conditions which reduce the quality of life. This will help inform data-driven decision making and suggest appropriate place-based approaches. There is common recognition of the connection between low socioeconomic status and poor health. Identification of high-need neighborhoods from the socio-demographic and health prospective has the potential to stimulate new strategies, additional resources, and foster closer working relationships between the community and public health sectors. Neighborhood level approaches allow for cross-sector stakeholder engagement which paints a clearer picture of interconnectedness factors affecting individual health.

Appendix II—Capital Region Neighborhoods In 2003, the counties of Albany, Rensselaer and Schenectady implemented a joint planning project to engage health providers and community members in a regional needs assessment and prioritization process. This resulted in the first Capital District Community Health Needs Assessment. It was agreed that sociodemographic and health data needed to be available at the sub-county level. Zip Code were chosen as the geographic area because there were insufficient data for the primary alternative, census tract. In addition, death, ED visit, and hospital discharge data were available at the Zip Code level.

Partners were asked to select ZIP Code, or ZIP Code aggregates based on a minimum of 6,000 residents for more stable rates, and meaningful sub-county groups. These areas generally following municipal boundaries, or at meaningful neighborhoods in urban areas.

In 2013, the counties of Columbia, Greene and Saratoga were added to the regional planning process. Partners from these counties were asked to identify logical sub-county ZIP Code aggregates that were useful for their local planning efforts. Some of the newly identified neighborhoods had populations less than 6,000 due to the rural nature of these counties.

In 2019, Albany County changed their sub-county neighborhood groupings based on the need to look more closely at the South End Neighborhood (split original West Hills/ South End neighborhood into South End and South End/Downtown neighborhoods).

The following are the neighborhoods utilized in the 2019 Capital Region Community Health Needs Assessment:

Appendix III—Definitions

Neighborhood Analysis Definitions

Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) is a summary measure of premature mortality and its leading causes. It represents the total number years not lived by people who die before a given age. Thus, deaths among younger people contribute more to the YPLL measure than deaths among older people. In the US, the age limit is often set at 75, so people who die before 75 have lost some potential years of life. For example, a person dying at age 25 contributes 50 years of life lost.

Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is calculated combining 17 indicators of income, education, employment, and housing quality. ADI is measured on a national scale-a score of 100 (50th percentile) is the national average. The higher scores mean more deprivation. (Source: Community Commons/Broadstreet). The 17 indicators include:

Families below poverty level (%) High School Graduation Obtained Ages 25 Years and Older (%) Owner-occupied housing units (%) Households without a motor vehicle (%) Crowding Households with more than 1 person per room (%) Households without complete plumbing (%) Households without a telephone (%) Income disparity Median family income ($) Median gross rent ($) Median home value ($) Median monthly home cost ($) Percent of population below 150% of poverty threshold (%) Single parent households with children under 18 years (%) Less than high school education (%) Unemployment Ages 16 Years and Older (%) Employed person 16+ in white collar occupations (%).

SocioNeeds Index summarizes six socioeconomic indicators into o composite score. Values range from 0-100 representing the percentile of each zip code among all US zip codes. Higher values are estimated to have the highest socioeconomic needs. (Source: Conduent/HCI, Claritas 2018). The 6 indicators include:

Average household income ($) Families below poverty (%) Civilian labor force unemployed (%) Employed civilian population in white collar occupations (%)

The Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs) identify issues of access to outpatient care, including appropriate follow-up care after hospital discharge. The PQIs are a set of measures developed by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) for use in assessing the quality of outpatient care for "ambulatory care sensitive conditions" (ACSCs). This indicator is defined as the combination of the 12 PQIs that pertain to adults: (1)Short-term complication of diabetes (2)Long-term complication of diabetes (3)Uncontrolled diabetes (4)Lower-extremity amputation among patients with diabetes (5)Hypertension (6)Congestive heart failure (7)Angina (8)Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (9)Asthma (10)Dehydration (11)Bacterial pneumonia (12)Urinary tract infection. Because the PQIs estimate the number of potentially avoidable hospital admissions, a lower rate is desirable.18

Correlation Coefficient: “Used in statistics to measure how strong a relationship is between two variables. There are several types of correlation coefficient: Pearson’s correlation (also called Pearson’s R) is a correlation coefficient commonly used in linear regression. If you’re starting out in statistics, you’ll probably learn about Pearson’s R first. In fact, when anyone refers to the correlation coefficient, they are usually talking about Pearson’s.”15

“Correlation coefficient formulas are used to find how strong a relationship is between data. The formulas return a value between -1 and 1, where:

1 indicates a strong positive relationship -1 indicates a strong negative relationship A result of zero indicates no relationship at all”15
