contents Residential Segregation, Socio- economic Status, and Disability: A Multi-Level Study of Puerto Ricans in the United States Giovani Burgos Fernando I. Rivera Sociología Latinos Disability Puerto Ricans Health Disparities Residential Segregation Although socioeconomic status (SES) is hypothesized to be one of the key mecha - nisms that links segregation to health, there are no multilevel studies that examine if SES mediates the relationship between segregation and disability among Puerto Ricans across the U.S. This paper introduces the Racialized Place Inequality Frame - work and addresses three questions: Does segregation affect the likelihood that Puerto Ricans have a disability? Are higher levels of segregation associated with lower SES? Does SES mediate the relationship between segregation and disability? Multilevel results from the 2008-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) and 2000 U.S. Census show that segregation (1) increases individuals’ probability of having a disability, (2) is associated with lower levels of SES, and (3) affects disability directly and indirectly through SES. These findings indicate that segregation is a power - ful upstream-macro level social structure that continues to limit the life chances of people of color in the U.S. through SES. 2012 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37730308002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.2 Vol.XXIV
