Abstract
We use survey data to document a strong heterogeneity in stated degrees of concern about environmental problems across racial groups.

Our finding implies that residential sorting based on heterogeneous financial resources and heterogeneous levels of environmental concern is unlikely to be the only driver of uneven exposure to pollution across racial groups.
