“…According to Reardon et al, 24 information theory index is superior to other indices of multigroup segregation. It is the only index that satisfies "the principle of transfer" and also has "additive group decomposability" and "additive organizational decomposability."…”

The association of racial segregation and health outcomes has been reviewed recently in the literature, but the health effect of other contexts of segregation with respect to residential environment has not as yet been fully reviewed. Besides, most of the literature on segregation has been performed in Western countries. Here, we undertake a multilevel analysis of residential segregation of socioeconomic and demographic factors and disability rate in an Eastern developing country in order to elucidate the effects of this aspect of segregation on disability rate. The latest Iranian national census in 2006 was used to measure segregation indices and perform the analysis. Information theory index and its ordinal form were applied to measure evenness dimension of segregation of categorical and ordinal variables, respectively. Segregation of contextual and structural characteristics of residential environment, which are important determinants of socioeconomic status in Iran, had different relations with disability rate. Provinces which were segregated by type of occupation of residents, sex, and ownership of a motorcycle had a lower individual disability rate, while age segregation and house ownership had a positive effect on the rate of individual disability in the province. The findings also showed that almost all the aforementioned segregation indices had the same effect on the rate of family disability. The unique contribution of this study is that it considers how segregation with respect to aspects of social characteristics other than race affects health outcomes. Further studies in this regard may reveal new insights into health outcome inequalities.

“…A weakness, however, is that the dissimilarity index does not allow one to partition segregation into different components in order to take a closer look at why segregation exists (Reardon, Yun, and Eitle 2000). I thus turn to an alternative index, the Theil index, which does allow for such decompositions.…”

This descriptive paper documents how segregation between blacks and whites across colleges in the United States has evolved since the 1960s. It also explores potential channels through which changes are occurring, and it uses recent data to study the issue of segregation within colleges. The main fi ndings are as follows: (1) White exposure to blacks has been rising since the 1960s, whereas black exposure to whites increased sharply in the late 1960s and early 1970s and has fl uctuated since then. Meanwhile, black-white dissimilarity and the Theil index fell sharply in the late 1960s and early 1970s and have fallen more gradually since. (2) There has been regional convergence, although colleges in the South remain more segregated than those in any other region when measured by dissimilarity, by the Theil index, or by black exposure to whites. (3) A major channel for the decline in segregation is the declining share of blacks attending historically black colleges and universities. (4) Although there is segregation within universities, most segregation across major × university cells occurs across universities.

“…As a result, the majority of the segregation existing in the Louisville metropolitan lies between JCPS and its vicinity. Additionally, Figure 2 suggests a rising trend of segregation in the Louisville metropolitan area during 1987 -2008 caused by a combination of suburbanization and urban-to-suburban white flight due to school desegregation policies in JCPS (Bischoff, 2008;Logan et al, 2008;Reardon, Yun, & Eitle, 2000).…”

This article explores the spatiotemporal patterns of school segregation between blacks and whites in Jefferson County and its affiliated Louisville metropolitan area. The classical dissimilarity index and the GIS-oriented spatial segregation measure -S index are used to estimate school segregation based on public school enrollment data (1987 -2008). Findings call for the significance of measuring school segregation from a metropolitan-wide perspective rather than focusing on the urban school district alone. Also, results indicate that between-district segregation represents the majority of overall segregation in the entire Louisville metropolitan area. Most importantly, the GIS-based S Index enriches segregation studies by mapping the dynamic patterns of racial disparities while permitting a statistical estimate of segregation.
