Public transit is indispensable for car‐free households to access healthcare. Meanwhile, different households have unequal transit‐based healthcare accessibility due to different socio‐economic factors such as race/ethnicity and car ownership. Few studies have comprehensively explored the inequality in transit‐based healthcare accessibility by integrating both racial/ethnic inequity and car ownership. This study fills the gap with an up‐to‐date analysis of transit‐based healthcare accessibility in the Chicago Metropolitan Area at the census tract level. The results show that the percentage of car‐free households is positively related to transit‐based healthcare accessibility; while a higher percentage of minorities (i.e., Black/Hispanic) is negatively related to transit‐based healthcare accessibility. Among all neighbourhoods with higher percentages of higher‐than‐average car‐free households, Hispanic‐majority neighbourhoods fare the worst; while White‐majority neighbourhoods have much better healthcare accessibility than both Black‐majority and Hispanic‐majority neighbourhoods...
