Research spans demographic methodology, racial health disparities, and geospatial population dynamics. Key investigations include socioeconomic and racial inequalities in life expectancy, evolving marriage/divorce patterns, assortative mating trends, and urban-rural migration impacts on health outcomes. Current projects analyze the drivers behind improved Black life expectancy in the U.S. over the past 25 years and how residential mobility between urban, suburban, and rural areas affects well-being.
