Study of the Day: Minorities in Michigan Pay More for Utilities
The reason is more connected to location than race
Non-whites, or at least non-whites in Michigan, pay more than whites for basic water and sewer services, according to a new study by Michigan State University researchers.
Researchers analyzed census data and self-reported water and sewer costs across the state of Michigan. They found that urban residents in that state pay more than their rural counterparts, and that neighborhoods with a high-percentage of non-white residents pay the most.
