Objective: Socioeconomic hardship is common among children hospitalized for asthma but often not practically measurable. Information on where a child resides is universally available. We sought to determine the correlation between neighborhood-level socioeconomic data and family-reported hardships. Methods: Caregivers of 774 children hospitalized with asthma answered questions regarding income, financial strain, and primary care access.
