    AbstractPlace-a confluence of the social, economic, political, physical, and built environments-is fundamental to our understanding of health and health inequities among marginalized racial groups in the United States. Moreover, racism, defined as a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on the social interpretation of how one looks (i.e., race), has shaped the places people live in North Carolina. This problem is deeply imbedded in all of our systems, from housing to health care, affecting the ability of every resident of the state to flourish and thrive.©2020 by the North Carolina Institute of Medicine and The Duke Endowment.
