The researchers report that Black adults living in ZIP codes affected by redlining have an 8% greater risk of heart failure than Black people who live in areas that were not affected by redlining. Researchers looked at data for 800,000 Black Americans and 1.6 million non-Hispanic White adults. The subjects were enrolled in Medicare between 2014 and 2019 and referenced against postal ZIP codes across the country.
