摘要：

The aim of this paper is to examine the changes between 1980 and 1990 in residential segregation among Latinos, Asians, and blacks in metropolitan areas. Of particular interest are the changes in multiethnic metropolitan areas. The residential segregation patterns of each of the 3 ethnic groups are described for 37 metropolitan areas across the US. An index of dissimilarity was constructed for each ethnic group; blacks wee found to be the most racially segregated. Multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the impacts of multiethnic metropolitan context on black segregation scores. The argument is that the extent of residential segregation was influenced by region, economic base of the metropolitan area, age of the area, size of the area, and economic status of a group. The results of the regression analyses showed that among multiethnic, mostly white Latinos, and mostly white asian areas the effects were in the expected direction, but only white Latinos showed significance. The interpretation is that multiethnic areas are associated with lower black segregation. Significant independent effects were indicated for age of area and black percentage of the metropolitan area population. In the segregation change between the 1980 and 1990 model, black segregation declines were significantly greater in multiethnic areas and in areas with mostly white Latinos. The relative rate of black to white growth was significant, but the high relative rate of Latino growth to black growth was significant and contributed to greater declines in black segregation. The Northeast, Midwest, and West showed significant increases in black segregation compared with the South; increases were also evident in government areas or areas with a high percentage of blacks. Declines were evident in new construction areas. Significantly higher Latino segregation was found in multiethnic areas, in large areas, in the Northeast and Midwest, and in retirement and durable goods manufacturing areas. A high rate of Latino growth relative to white growth significantly increased segregation, and a high rate of Asian relative to Latino growth reduced Latino levels. - See more at: http://www.popline.org/node/327674#sthash.qITahmgo.dpuf
