“Sundown towns” across the US prevented racial and ethnic minorities from living and working within their borders as they forced minorities to leave these towns after sunset. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between sundown town status, COVID-19 local risk index and racial and ethnic diversity. A multi-level hierarchical model was used to examine the effect of historical segregation through sundown towns status on present day COVID-19 local risk index and city-level diversity. | “Sundown towns” across the US prevented racial and ethnic minorities from living and working within their borders as they forced minorities to leave these towns after sunset.

I contribute to our understanding of black–white inequality in the United States by assessing the legacy of | |||
“sundown towns.” Sundown towns are places that restricted who could live there based on ideas about | |||

by examining their association with contemporary black–white economic inequality. In addition, I advance | |||
a new theoretical perspective to explain how the history associated with sundown towns contributes to | |||
contemporary inequality, namely large-scale segregation. To assess the contemporary impact of sundown | |||
