“…However, only a few studies have implemented sequencing techniques to do so (e.g. Clark, Deurloo, & Dieleman, 2003; Coulter & Van Ham, 2013; Lee, Smith, & Galster, 2017; Pollock, 2007; Stovel & Bolan, 2004; Van Ham, Hedman, Manley, Coulter, & Östh, 2014). Some of these studies operationalize residential biographies as sequences of housing tenure (Clark et al, 2003; Pollock, 2007), and one investigates moving desires and subsequent residential (im)mobility (Coulter & Van Ham, 2013).…”

“…However, this study operationalizes context in terms of population size (the main contrast being sparsely populated rural areas and large metropolitan cities) and calls for further studying of sequential contextualization in terms of socioeconomic and social dimensions (Stovel & Bolan, 2004, p. 589). Two more recent studies are of particular interest in this regard as they deal with contextual socioeconomic mobility in the Stockholm region (Van Ham et al, 2014) and in the US (Lee et al, 2017). The latter utilizes sequence analysis, demonstrates a typology of neighbourhood trajectories and finds significant variations in the contexts facing black and white low-income individuals over the life course.…”

Print production: Reprosentralen, University of Oslo. I am indebted to my two supervisors-Marianne Nordli Hansen and Johs. Hjellbrekke-for their invaluable help over the course of these past years. Not only have they read and re-read countless drafts and provided prompt and insightful remarks, but they have also always done so in a manner that has never made me lose faith in my own project or doubt their encouragement with regard to my pursuit of sociology. In addition to having massive respect for their sociological knowledge, I find them both to be particularly inclusive and generous in their supervision. By including me in research seminars, international workshops and networks, they have invited me to partake in a larger field of like-minded sociologists. For this invitation and so much more, I am very grateful.

“…Sequence analysis has been used to describe residential trajectories across regions with different levels of population density in the US (Stovel and Bolan, 2004) and the interplay between mobility desires and mobility behaviour in the UK (Coulter & van Ham, 2013). The method has also been employed to investigate individuals' long-term neighbourhood histories in the US (Lee et al, 2017), the Netherlands (Kleinepier et al, 2018), Sweden (van Ham et al, 2014) and Norway (Toft, 2018). Finally, a Swedish study applied the method to explore the relationship between housing pathways and housing wealth (Wind & Hedman, 2018).…”

Migrants’ long-term residential trajectories in Sweden: persistent neighbourhood deprivation or spatial assimilation?

Despite time being a key element in the theories on international migrants' socio-spatial mobility, it has not been sufficiently addressed in empirical research. Most studies focus on discrete transitions between different types of neighbourhoods, potentially missing theoretically important temporal aspects. This article uses sequence analysis to study the residential trajectories of international migrants in Sweden emphasising the timing, order, and duration of residence in neighbourhoods with different poverty levels. It follows individuals of the 2003 arrival cohort during their first 9 years in the country. Results show that 81% of migrants consistently reside in the same type of neighbourhood; 60% consistently live in a deprived area and mere 12% follow a trajectories starting at deprived and ending at middle-income or affluent neighbourhoods. Thus, spatial assimilation is neither the only nor the most frequent trajectory followed by migrants in Sweden. Lastly, there are persistent differences in neighbourhood attainment between immigrant groups, suggesting either place stratification or ethnic preference.

“…The same features that make the PSID useful for understanding residential dynamics make it an indispensable tool in debates about housing and housing-related policy. For example, recent research has used the PSID to better understand the role of housing-assistance programs in shaping residential trajectories and neighborhood dynamics (Lee et al 2017b; Massey et al 2013; Newman and Holupka 2017a). Building on this work, another line of research has examined the role of housing assistance on residential stability and, by extension, individual educational and health outcomes, especially among children (Lennon, Clark, and Joshi 2016; Newman and Holupka 2017b).…”

In this article we describe the considerable influence of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) on research on residential migration, mobility, and neighborhood attainment, as well as the role of PSID-based research in housing policy debates. We review some of the central research findings and key discoveries that have come from analyses that have used the PSID. We then present new research, using PSID data that are linked to geographic data, to demonstrate how geographic moves are associated with changes in neighborhood poverty rates. The relationship differs markedly for blacks and whites, and our results add to a body of work that shows sharp racial differences in residential context, and the role that personal migration plays in shaping this stratification. Finally, we use these findings and the shortcomings of past research to prescribe ways that the PSID could be enhanced to understand more about migration dynamics and processes of residential stratification.
