FIGURE 1. Mean Prevalence of Cardiometabolic Health Indicators Across HOLC Grades
(A) Mean prevalence of cardiometabolic health outcomes according to HOLC grade. (B) Mean prevalence of cardiometabolic health risk factors according to HOLC grade. Error bars represent SDs. P values correspond to the variance of means for the prevalence of health indicators across HOLC grades. Columns are color-coded based on HOLC grading: A (“best” or green), B (“still desirable” or blue), C (“definitely declining” or yellow), and D (“hazardous” or red). BP = blood pressure; CAD = coronary artery disease; CKD = chronic kidney disease; HOLC = Home Owners’ Loan Corporation.
