Abstract
⺠Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, including poverty and low education, impacts child obesity. ⺠Children in neighborhoods with a higher proportion of foreign-born residents have a reduced risk of obesity. ⺠Accounting for neighborhood structural factors does not reduce race/ethnic disparities in child obesity.
