METHODS National data from American Community Survey InfoUSA, linked at PCSA-level, for 2005 (N=7,109) 2014 (N=7,142). Associations between racial composition PCSAs numbers were examined using multiple regression models. RESULTS After adjustment PCSA socio-demographic characteristics, minority had fewer diagnostic imaging centers physicians, mental providers, dentists, other practitioners than White (Adj IRR range: 0.68-0.80, all p<.01). Availability was also lower PCSAs, but reductions smaller involved types 0.85-0.91, p<.05). CONCLUSION Minority communities have important services, which may contribute to persistent racial/ethnic disparities access use.
