“…In the cross-section, high levels of racial residential segregation are associated high levels of class segregation (Fong and Shibuya 2000). High levels of racial segregation are likely to reflect racially-discriminatory housing market practices that restrict blacks' movement into nonpoor neighborhoods and instead channel them to poor areas (Massey and Denton 1993; Fischer and Massey 2004; Galster 1991).…”

“…Broadly speaking, research into the determinants of households' exposure to poor and nonpoor neighbors has adopted one of two approaches. One research design is primarily aggregate, identifying metropolitan-level patterns (Dwyer 2010) and trends (Fischer et al 2004; Tittle and Rotolo 2010) in residential segregation by social class, and exploring how these segregation patterns—and changes therein—covary with other metropolitan-area characteristics (e.g., Fong and Shibuya 2000; Jargowsky 1996; Wagmiller 2007). A key finding from this line of research is that metropolitan-area racial inequality is strongly associated with race-specific patterns of class segregation (Massey et al 1991; Massey and Fischer 2000).…”

Data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and three decennial U.S. censuses are used to examine the influence of metropolitan-area characteristics on black and white households' propensity to move into poor versus nonpoor neighborhoods. We find that a nontrivial portion of the variance in the odds of moving to a poor rather to a nonpoor neighborhood exists between metropolitan areas. Net of established individual-level predictors of inter-neighborhood migration, black and white households are more likely to move to a poor or extremely poor tract rather than to a nonpoor tract in metropolitan areas containing many poor neighborhoods and a paucity of recently-built housing in nonpoor areas. Blacks are especially likely to move to a poor tract in metropolitan areas characterized by high levels of racial residential segregation and in which poor tracts have a sizeable concentration of blacks. White households are more likely to move to a poor than to a nonpoor tract in metropolitan areas that have comparatively few African Americans.

“…Groups with higher education levels may have different preferences for neighborhood amenities (Hou 2006). Besides, higher education is associated with more socioeconomic resources, permitting educated members of religious groups to afford to move into more neighborhoods with varying housing values (Fong and Shibuya 2000; Hou and Myles 2005). Given wide education differences among religious groups (D’Addario et al 2008; Wilder and Walters 1998), it is possible that residential segregation among religious groups is related to their educational differences.…”

This study, based on 2001 Canadian census data for 16 census metropolitan areas, explores residential segregation among eight religious groups. We include nonChristian religious groups to reflect the emerging religious diversity of Canadian society. Our study provides the first comprehensive comparison of the residential patterns of people affiliated with major religious groups in Canada. We argue that each religion is associated with unique sets of religious institutional behaviors, which in turn shape each religious group's relationships with other religious groups. In this study, we identify four religious institutional behaviors that can affect the residential segregation of various religious groups: institutional orientation of religious community services, subcultural identity, religious identity, and discrimination. The findings indicate that these religious institutional behaviors are related to the residential segregation patterns of different religious groups.

“…We use the data at the census mesh block scale; there were 7,100 of these in the Census-defined Auckland Urban area, with an average population of 140 personsthe total population was 991,39EL4 These areas are much smaller than those employed in the maps and analyses in Friesen et al (2000) and allow us to study residential concentration in great detail; if there is substantial spatial encapsulation in Auckland, it should be readily identifiable at this spatial scale. Table 1 shows the size of the various ethnic groups.…”

Data from the 1996 New Zealand Census on ethnicity in Auckland Urban and European groups, and that most of the European groups--along with the "host society," the New Zealand Europeans-were not spatially exposed to members of the Polynesian and Asian groups.After decades of debate on the nature of residential segregation and how to measure it, research has tended to lapse into a degree of theoretical, methodological, and even terminological uncertainty, associated with the promotion of a variety of different definitions and measures (Massey and Denton 1988, p. 282). Consistency and comparability certainly, and potentially the validity of the research area itself, all suffer as a result. None of this is satisfactory at a time of burgeoning interest in the social dynamics of plural, ethnically heterogeneous cities (Grill0 2000) or EthniCities (Roseman, Laux, and Thieme 1996). In particular, established relationships between ethnic residential patterns and social distance from the host society, through the operation of the housing market, bear on issues of social discrimination and exclusion, and of economic disadvantage, as well as positive reasons for ethnic group segregation associated with retention of cultural identity. Hence the continuing need, not only to continue the debate about theories of the nature and dynamics of ethnic group concentration in urban areas, but also to develop methodologies that can accurately map and describe the social geographies of ethnic groups in light of developing theory. This paper examines several major aspects of the methodological debate, looking especially at the indexes of segregation and isolation and at a new, threshold
