Key Points Question What are the associations of parent or caregiver educational attainment, income-to-needs ratio, and neighborhood disadvantage (and their interactions) with brain structure in children? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 8862 children aged 9 to 10 years, different indicators of socioeconomic status (SES) had distinct correlations with children’s brain structure. Thus, high income-to-needs ratios may play a protective role in the context of low neighborhood SES and parent or caregiver educational attainment. Meaning The results of this study suggest that different facets of the socioeconomic context are independently and synergistically associated with child brain structure.
