System context reduced predicted risk for most beneficiaries and amplified risk for a minority. CAR varied across racial groups, with Black beneficiaries showing higher amplification rates among those with positive CAR.

High fragmentation and limited provider access were associated with amplified contextual risk for some beneficiaries.
