“…Certainly the city has witnessed significant growth in integrated communities, but recent scholarship has found that blacks are being left out. Lobo and his associates (Lobo, Flores, & Salvo, 2002, 2007; Lobo & Salvo, 1999), while not focusing specifically on patterns of racial integration, found sharper racial and ethnic divisions across neighborhoods that were more in line with the city's consistently high levels of racial segregation, especially as it pertained to blacks. Similarly, Rosenbaum's (1992, 1994, 1996; Rosenbaum & Argeros, 2005) series of studies on racial turnover found that blacks and Hispanics faced the most obstacles/constraints to their housing choices, resulting in considerable racial variation in the neighborhood destinations of New Yorkers.…”

This research is a descriptive assessment of the growth and stability of racially integrated neighborhoods in New York City from 1970 to 2010. The focus of our analysis is on the inclusion of blacks in these integrated areas given that current scholarship has shown that in other venues, Asians and Hispanics are socially separating themselves from blacks and aligning themselves with whites. The predominant pattern of racial integration in the city, and one that appears to have become more stable over time, combines whites, Asians and, to a lesser extent, Hispanics, but typically excludes blacks. We conclude by placing our findings within the broader literature on the emerging black/non‐black color line, where Asians and Hispanics are increasingly aligned with whites while distancing themselves from blacks.

“…Despite immigrants arriving by the tens of thousands, Blacks experienced a new demographic phenomenon between 1980 and 2010-a net outflow of 401,000 from the city. This was a result of comingling of the histories of two groups: native-born Blacks, with roots in the south, who were returning there in large numbers, and the smaller inflow of Caribbean immigrants (Adelman, Morett, and Tolnay 2000;Lobo and Salvo 2000). Black net migration losses, however, were more than offset by natural increase.…”

We examine New York’s components of population change—net migration and natural increase—by race and space to explain increases in integrated and minority neighborhoods, in this era of greater ethnoracial diversity. The city has net outflows of Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics, and net Asian inflows, a new dynamic that has reordered its neighborhoods. Asians, often joined by Hispanics, moved into White neighborhoods without triggering White flight, resulting in integrated neighborhoods without Blacks. These neighborhoods constitute a plurality, furthering Black exclusion. Minority neighborhoods saw net outflows, an overlooked phenomenon, but expanded thanks to natural increase, which maintains the existing racial structure. White inflows have helped transition some minority neighborhoods to integrated areas, though integrated neighborhoods with Blacks declined overall. As Asians and Hispanics occupy historically White spaces, this warrants a reconceptualization of race and the emerging racial hierarchy, and a focus on the gatekeeper role of Asians and Hispanics.

“…The neighborhoods that middle-class blacks were moving into-primarily the 93 tracts that transitioned from dominant white in 1970 to dominant black in 1990-comprised wealthier areas, such as Flatbush and Crown Heights in Brooklyn and Cambria Heights and Queens Village in Queens. When whites left these neighborhoods, blacks, especially immigrants from the Caribbean, took advantage of the housing opportunities in these areas (Lobo and Salvo 1999). These were middle-class, home-owning neighborhoods in 1970 that remained so in 1990 but were now dominant black, with a median household income of $31,300.…”

Between 1970 and 1990, a surging Hispanic population succeeded whites across New York City, resulting in major increases in both all-minority and multiethnic neighborhoods. Puerto Rican and Dominican flows resulted in transitions to all-minority neighborhoods, whereas South Americans showed a more integrated pattern of settlement. The unique settlement patterns of Hispanic subgroups need to be understood in the context of larger political, social, and economic forces operating in the city. In the post-1990 period, newer Hispanic groups have begun to succeed Puerto Ricans. Thus, earlier patterns of white to Hispanic transitions now have been supplemented by ethnic succession among Hispanics.The ebb and flow of migrants, both domestic and international, have for centuries shaped and reshaped the character of New York City. From its earliest days when the Dutch and English struggled for political and economic control, through the nineteenth century when new groups such as Germans and the Irish settled in great numbers, and up through the early twentieth century with the arrival of southern and eastern Europeans, the city has always been an ever-evolving mix of ethnic groups (Binder and Reimers 1995).
