The article focuses on the levels of hospitalization experienced in the New York City between 2008 to 2013 due to the “neighborhood poverty levels.” It also evaluates changes that occurred in the gap between the high poverty and low poverty neighborhood. From the findings,

Preventable hospitalization decreased between 2008 and 2013 in “100,000 adults in each poverty group.” The annual diabetes hospitalization “decreased by 5.75 %, respiratory problems decreased by −4.85 %, circulatory cases reduced by −7.24 % while acute composites reduced by −5.62 %.” The rates increased by three times in higher in higher poverty levels than in low poverty levels. Economic disparity in New York still exists even though medical care has increased.

The findings established that high cases of communicable diseases were “associated with high poverty levels.” It was stated that “rickettsialpox” accounting for 3.69 incidence rate ratios (IRR) at 95% confidence interval (CI). It was found that “chronic hepatitis C” accounted for IRR of 3.58 at CI of 3.50 and 3.66 while malaria accounted for IRR of 3.48 at CI = 2.97, 4.08.

The article analyses the picture of the racial, social and economic inequality in New York and its effects that range from social mobility of people and higher crime rates in the area. Poverty rates have grown since 2000, rising from 7.2 million to 13.8 million in 2013. The poverty rates overlapped across races in which ¼ of black American, 1/6 Hispanic American and 1/13 whites. Concentrated poverty increase resulted from deep and fundamental special organization transformations, which sorted the population in cities and suburbs. This has stretched the housing and their affordability thus constraining the income and development of individuals in the city.
