A pair of articles recently published in AJPH (see citation below) from the
Harvard School
of Public Health - Public Health Disparities Geocoding Project group fits
your criteria.

I would also look at publications by Robert, Rodrick and/or Deborah Wallace
(NY metro mostly),
Dolores Acevedo-Garcia (urban residential segregation, multi-level models
and health:
see Acevedo-Garcia D.  Zip Code-Level Risk Factors for Tuberculosis:
Neighborhood Environment and Residential Segregation in New Jersey,
1985-1992. Am J Pub Health. 91(5):734-741, May 2001) and
Adam Drewnowski (obesity, economic costs of healthy diets, including access
in poor,
esp. African-American neighborhoods - Seattle, a keynote presentation at
2004 NIEHS conference
on the Built Environment and Obesity, Washington, DC).

As W.E.B. DuBois said, "To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race
in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships." (1961)
