We identified associations between key measures of neighborhood socioeconomic context and change in distance to providers using multivariable linear regression models. <b>Results.</b> After the <i>Dobbs</i> decision, Texas residents experienced an average change in distance to the nearest provider of 457 miles (SD = 179). Neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage experienced the greatest increase in distance to abortion providers after SB8's passing, and neighborhoods with high levels of income inequality experienced the greatest increase in distance after the <i>Dobbs</i> decision. <b>Conclusions.</b> We document the rapidly changing abortion landscape in a highly restrictive state and show that women living in more disadvantaged and unequal areas are most affected by the increasing distance to providers. <b>Public Health Implications.</b> Our methods and findings will continue to be relevant in understanding the burden placed on women in areas where medical abortion has been restricted because of the <i>Dobbs</i> decision.
