Users' probability of using each type of HCBS. (A) shows the results of linear probability regressions on different types of HCBS. The values are the coefficients of blacks on the probability of using different types of HCBS. The regression models added county fixed effect but did not control other variables. (B) shows the results of linear probability regressions on different types of HCBS. The values are the coefficients of blacks on the probability of using different types of HCBS. The regressions adjusted individual characteristics (i.e., age, gender, and diagnosis years of ADRD), chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, depression, cardiovascular disease, cancer etc.), county level Medicaid spending on HCBS per HCBS user per month. (C) shows the results of linear probability regressions on different types of HCBS among individuals in disadvantaged neighborhoods and non-disadvantaged neighborhoods, respectively. These regressions adjusted covariates included in the (B). Rich communities are those with 2015 ADI <55. We use 55 as a cutoff point because the mean ADI of the study population is 55.3. With this cutoff 55% of sample was in rich communities.
