有形基础设施和住房使人与人之间的互动成为可能，并提供住所。这一基础设施的运作情况如何以及它为哪些群体服务，对社会公平和健康具有重要影响。住房不足的人口更容易患环境疾病和受伤，住房方面的巨大差距基本上没有改变。大约有260万（7.5%）非西班牙裔黑人和590万白人（2.8%）生活在不合标准的住房中，隔离、缺乏住房流动性和无家可归都与不利的健康结果有关。然而，美国儿童铅中毒的经验表明，与住房有关的差距是可以缩小的。应采取有效的干预措施，减少与住房有关的环境卫生差距。(Am J公共卫生。2011;101：S115-S122。doi：10.2105/AJPH.2010.300058）
The physical infrastructure and housing make human interaction possible and provide shelter. How well that infrastructure performs and which groups it serves have important implications for social equity and health. Populations in inadequate housing are more likely to have environmental diseases and injuries.Substantial disparities in housing have remained largely unchanged. Approximately 2.6 million (7.5%) non-Hispanic Blacks and 5.9 million Whites (2.8%) live in substandard housing.Segregation, lack of housing mobility, and homelessness are all associated with adverse health outcomes. Yet the experience with childhood lead poisoning in the United States has shown that housing-related disparities can be reduced. Effective interventions should be implemented to reduce environmental health disparities related to housing. (Am J Public Health. 2011;101:S115-S122. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2010.300058)
