Consider obtaining the Gini coefficient (or some equivalent measure of wealth inequality) at the block group and/or tract level in order to assess the impact of inequality on code violations.

Gini Coefficient calculated in ACS Tables - http://www.socialexplorer.com/data/ACS2014_5yr/metadata/?ds=ACS14_5yr&table=B19083

I'm going to reopen this - BTW, the Gini Coefficient is at the Census Tract level - which we can easily apply to the Block Group level....
