DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Using a novel database on the net worth and self-repo
 rted cognitive impairment of over 1.8 million geolocated adults aged 50 an
 d over\, this paper provides the first large-scale evidence directly linki
 ng community wealth to age-related cognitive decline. The widening of geog
 raphic wealth disparities in the United States has fueled inequalities in 
 access to public goods and amenities\, positioning aggregate community wea
 lth as a critical determinant of cognitive health. Adjusting for confounde
 rs\, including household wealth and education\, each standard deviation in
 crease in community wealth is associated with a 6.7% relative risk reducti
 on of cognitive impairment after age 50. Critically\, the protective effec
 ts accompanying community wealth matter most for non-white\, non-college e
 ducated\, and low net worth householders\, plausibly because these individ
 uals rely more on the conditions underwritten by local affluence. While de
 mentia-related cognitive decline currently affects one third of older adul
 ts\, the economic fragmentation of American communities thus poses a growi
 ng threat to the cognitive health of Americans\, particularly those from s
 ocially vulnerable and marginalized background.\n\n \n\n \n
