For Louisville, Kentucky, ZIP code level data on hospitalizations and mortality<br>rates as health measures were compared to fringe bank locations. We found lower socioeconomic status<br>(SES) positively correlated with greater frequency of fringe banks; rates of illness appear to be higher in ZIP<br>codes with more fringe banks, but this finding was not statistically significant. In conclusion, neighbor-<br>hoods between higher frequencies of fringe banks appear to have poorer health; it is premature to rule in or<br>rule out a direct or indirect association between neighborhood presence of fringe banks, but there is enough<br>evidence to justify additional research to put any conclusions on a firmer footing.</p>}, number={3}, journal={American Journal of Health Studies}, author={Hundley, Courtney L and Wilson, Richard W. and Chenault, John and Smimble, Jamie L.}, year={2017}, month={Jul.} }
