Vitamin D unlocks racial differences in blood pressure
The researchers found that, overall, Blacks had significantly lower levels of vitamin D in their blood than Whites and blood levels of vitamin D were linked to systolic blood pressure. Differences in vitamin D levels between Blacks and Whites accounted for a quarter of the difference in blood pressure readings between the two groups.

As far as more factors contributing to this I have noticed that in the Manayunk area, you have many nice restaurants to eat at and also 2 pizza places that serve vegan pizza and a steak sandwich place with tofu and seitan fake-cheese steaks but no fast food places. Whereas around Germantown and Chelton with many more
people of color you have lots of fast food places with really greasy fries.
