Structural Racism Database Release 1 User Guide
Year: 2025
Type: report
Abstract: The measures in this database capture manifestations of structural racism across time, place, and domains. Measures of structural racism aim to reflect the interconnection of institutions, laws, practices, and ideologies based on historically rooted relations of domination and subordination that organize racialized groups in a hierarchical structure and distribute valued resources and opportunities based on that structure. This first release consists of a rich set of structural racism indicators across residential, criminal/legal, political, and demographic subjects at varying geographic levels (state, county, census tract, city) and across time. The measures described in this guide were assembled, cleaned, and merged to Add Health respondents’ locations of residence by Taylor W. Hargrove, Chantel L. Martin, Savannah Dowden, Brian Frizzelle, Jason Grago, Lixin Qu, and Carmen Gutierrez.
