This study compared public health and environmental justice indicators between the 50 U.S. state capitol cities and their host states, to similarly-sized cities in the same state, and 1-mile circular zones around the capitol complexes. Overall, capitol cities mirrored other cities of similar population sizes but were marked by more public health and environmental justice challenges, especially in the areas close to capitol domes where access to space is contested. These findings might be ameliorated if capitol cities provide more affordable housing, better food environments, stronger public schools, and other assets for their residents
