Abstract
The social and structural determinants play a significant role in community health, and differences in the experience of these factors facilitate some of the health disparities that are seen in the US along racial and socioeconomic lines. In this manuscript, I propose a conceptual model of the social determinants of health hierarchy and discuss the positioning of the structural determinants of the built environment within that hierarchy. I discuss the research connecting some of the structural determinants to health outcomes. Finally, I review several opportunities for local government to alter the built environment in ways that can promote community health and mitigate health inequity.
