Abstract
Using nationally representative data from the National Survey of American Life (N=6082), this study examines racial, ethnic, and sociodemographic differences in subjective, interpersonal, and structural social isolation. Regression analyses identified significant associations with race, income, education, age, and region, underscoring distinct sociodemographic patterns across social isolation dimensions.
