“…Our operationalization of urban and suburban geography is quite similar to other articles in this issue that examine national data (see Lichter, Thiede, and Brooks 2023 ; Rastogi and Jones-Correa 2023 , this issue; Rutan, Hepburn, and Desmond 2023 ). Similarly, articles in this issue that focus on suburban case studies define those suburban locations in consistent alignment with our approach (see Clergé 2023 ; Frankenburg et al 2023 , this issue; Simms 2023 , this issue; Zapatka and Tran 2023 ).…”

Poverty in U.S. suburbs surged to historic highs in the early part of the twenty-first century. Although poverty was on the rise in many suburban areas during the 1990s, the recession of 2001 and the Great Recession that ended in 2009 led to dramatic increases in the number of poor people living in suburbs (Berube and Kneebone 2013). Scott Allard (2017) finds that suburbs in the largest hundred metropolitan Volatility and Change in Suburban NonprofitSafety Nets scot t w. a ll a r d a nd eliz a betH pelletier Rising poverty in suburbs has led to increased interest in how well suburban safety nets function. Apart from public assistance programs, community-based nonprofit health and human service organizations play a central role in suburban efforts to address racial and economic inequalities. Understanding how nonprofit services are distributed across the suburban and urban landscape, therefore, is critical to assessing how communities may be able to address need. In this paper, we examine the presence and volatility of nonprofit health and human service expenditures in suburban and urban counties across the United States from 2000 to 2017. We find the nonprofit safety net to be more responsive in urban centers than in suburban places, and less robust in suburban areas experiencing high rates of poverty or with a larger share of residents who are Black. Nonprofit health and human service spending also appears less countercyclical than is commonly understood. Suburban-urban disparities in nonprofit health and human service spending persist after controlling for several county-level demographic and socioeconomic factors.

“…As Kasey Zapatka and Van Tran (2023) show elsewhere in this volume, the politics of immigrant integration and reception vary considerably by race, ethnicity, and class. All immigrants face barriers, but integration in new gateways is particularly difficult for Mexican and other Latinx immigrants who sometimes arrive without legal documentation and with low levels of education and often encounter strong nativist backlash (Singer 2008;Marrow 2011).…”

and settled into middle-class and largely White suburbs of traditional gateway cities. Among this select group, the markers of immigrant success-from high homeownership rates to socioeconomic status and integration into elite suburbs-have reinforced ideas about Asian Americans as the New Whites and the "model minority" myth. These monikers deny the centrality of race in structuring social and economic mobility of Asian Americans and other racialized groups. As Claire Kim (1999) observes, Asian Americans' racialization "be-

“…As observed in some communities, the enclave represents an advantage in socio-economic affirmation, with many immigrants setting up thriving businesses in enclave economies and even creating self-sufficient communities (Dikici 2021). The second strand of studies focuses on the role of mixed neighbourhoods and the controversial outcomes of integration pathways (Zapatka and Tran 2023;Galster and Sharkey 2017;Bolt and van Kempen 2013). On the one hand, physical proximity in contexts mixed by origin and class background fosters the creation of transversal relationships between different social groups, accelerating the social inclusion processes (Joseph et al 2007;Echenique and Fryer 2007;Reardon et al 2009).…”

Integration is always at the core of migration studies and is examined from various theoretical perspectives. While integration models are valuable for understanding how national political systems influence the integration of foreigners into society, the real challenge of integration manifests at the local level. From a neighbourhood-based approach, this article addresses the integration trajectories of Sri Lankan entrepreneurs in Rione Sanità, Naples, which is a socio-economically deprived neighbourhood hosting a substantial segment of foreign populations and has been the target of significant urban regeneration initiatives over the past decade. Sri Lankans established travel agencies, fiscal assistance centres, restaurants, takeaways, and retailers in a transformative context. This article highlights how entrepreneurial initiatives are shaped by the mutual connection linking immigrants with the place where they found economic and relational opportunities. The results serve as a crucial starting point for better understanding the long-term outcomes of the socio-economic integration at the neighbourhood level.
