Abstract
As overt racial discrimination lessens and the social and economic status of minorities rises, segregation by class should become more and segregation by race less prominent. This hypothesis is tested via several structural and spatial measures of segregation, for class and for race separately and simultaneously. Even in the ostensibly liberal Seattle, race is found to remain vastly stronger than class for blacks, and even somewhat stronger for Asians.

It is concluded that blacks occupy a unique and distinctly disadvantaged position in the U.S. urban environment and are likely to be segregated on all five dimensions simultaneously, which never occurs for Hispanics.

The preference/tolerance schedules that are derived from the data have a different functional form from that suggested by Schelling, but confirm the view that stable integrated equilibria are unlikely.

The relationship between measures of population diversity and measures of segregation are shown, to describe the salient properties of these indexes, and to demonstrate the empirical interrelationships among them.

The results of this study suggest that the expressed preference for own race/own ethnicity, in combination with short-distance local moves, is likely to maintain present patterns of separation in U.S. metropolitan areas.
DemographyVariations on two themes: Racial and ethnic patterns in the attainment of suburban residence
383 Citations1991Richard Alba, John Logan
It is concluded that suburbanization is variable across the groups in a way that is not captured by broad categories such as “Asian” or “Hispanic,” and taken as evidence in favor of the assimilation model.

The suburbanization of racial and ethnic minorities is analyzed in terms of the locational resources provided by their communities of residence to show that whites and Hispanics receive consistent returns on income, acculturation, and family status.

Moderate levels of residential segregation of socioeconomic groups are found in urbanized areas of the United States in 1970, and racial residential segregation was much greater than the segregation of social classes within either the black or white communities.

Evidence of increased racial integration during the 1970s was found in each of the geographical contexts (central cities, suburban areas, and the movement of individuals between the two) that inform most studies of racially defined residential patterns.

The findings suggest the presence of structural constraints in the housing market which effectively channel racial/ ethnic groups to separate neighborhoods and that little progress has been made toward achieving equality in housing or informal social contact between racial/ethnic groups.
