You are not arguing the question. An unsafe, polluted, food desert neighbourhood is less healthy not because there are safe, clean, well supplied neighbourhoods. It is less healthy because the lack of safety, pollution and lack of healthy food makes people unhealthy. If you can make the whole country polluted, food deserty and unsafe you made everyone more equal, but nobody will get healthier. If a multi-billonaire buys a palace at the edge of a safe, clean neighbourhood that increases the inequality tremendously but won't make the people in the neighbourhood sicker.
