The poor and the medium wealth groups had less of the above capitals.
Among block groups with a previously permitted solid waste facility (compared with block groups with median house values ≥$100,000), adjusted HRs for medium wealth block groups (median house values $60,000 to < $75,000 and $75,000 to < $100,000, respectively) were 1.3 and 1.4 times higher.
Among block groups that did not have a previously permitted solid waste facility (compared with block groups with median house values ≥$100,000), adjusted HRs for medium wealth block groups, median house values $60,000 to < $75,000 and $75,000 to < $100,000, respectively, were 0.6 and 0.5 times as high.
The overall prevalence of daily tobacco consumption was 19.7%, and it was relatively higher for individuals who are male (22.7%), are in a younger age group (20.9%), are Coloured (33.9%), and possess medium wealth (22.5%).
The prevalence of risky alcohol use was generally low (3.7%), and it is also relatively higher for those who are male (5.9%), in a younger age group (4.2%), and Coloured and White (both 4.5%), and highest for individuals with medium wealth (22.5%).
If individuals differ by wealth, the optimal imprisonment term for the high wealth group may be longer or shorter than the term for the low wealth group.
If individuals differ by wealth, then the optimal fine for the high wealth group exceeds the fine for the low wealth group.

More than two-thirds of the sample (68.5%) took insufficient fruits and vegetables, with more females (70%), Coloureds (73%) and African Blacks (71%), and individuals with low wealth (72.4%) and medium wealth statuses (68.5%) having higher prevalence of insufficient fruit and vegetable intake; the prevalence was evenly distributed among age groups.
Following Filmer and Pritchett (2006), households were first grouped into five quintiles of relative wealth and then combined into tertiles where the first and second denote the poorest, the third and fourth denote medium wealth, and the fifth denotes the richest households.
