Local agencies that enforce housing policies can partner with the health care
system to target pediatric asthma care. These agencies retain data that can be
used to pinpoint potential clusters of high asthma morbidity. We sought to assess
whether the density of housing code violations in census tracts-the in-tract
asthma-relevant violations (such as the presence of mold or cockroaches) divided
by the number of housing units-was associated with population-level asthma
morbidity and could be used to predict a hospitalized patient's risk of
subsequent morbidity. We found that increased density in housing code violations
was associated with population-level morbidity independent of poverty, and that
the density explained 22 percent of the variation in rates of asthma-related
emergency department visits and hospitalizations. Children who had been
hospitalized for asthma had 1.84 greater odds of a revisit to the emergency
department or a rehospitalization within twelve months if they lived in the
highest quartile of housing code violation tracts, compared to those living in
the lowest quartile. Integrating housing and health data could highlight at-risk
areas and patients for targeted interventions.
