“…The above results may appear closer to those reported by Schneider and Phelan (1993). Their research revealed that an increase in black suburbanization does not necessarily mean that large numbers of suburban communities are becoming more integrated (Schneider & Phelan, 1993).…”

According to ecological theory, the socioeconomic status of a minority group is inversely related to the group's level of residential segregation from the majority group. This article determines whether the level of black socioeconomic status is related to the level of black residential segregation in the city of Detroit and Detroit's suburbs. Data were obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Census, 1990 Summary Tape Files 4-A. The methods employed to measure residential segregation were the indexes of dissimilarity D and isolation P * . Indexes were computed by census tract to measure segregation and isolation between blacks and whites at the same level of occupation, income, or education. The results revealed that residential segregation between blacks and whites remained high (i.e., above 50%) in both the city and the suburbs despite comparable socioeconomic status. Blacks in the suburbs were more segregated and isolated than blacks in the city at each socioeconomic level.

“…Their research revealed that an increase in black suburbanization does not necessarily mean that large numbers of suburban communities are becoming more integrated (Schneider & Phelan, 1993). Schneider and Phelan examined all suburbs (in 1980) with populations greater than 2,500 located in the 100 largest metropolitan regions in the United States.…”

Ethnicity at the Individual and Neighborhood Level as an Explanation for Moving Out of the Neighborhood

We address the influence of both the ethnic composition of the neighborhood and the ethnicity of individual residents on moving out of neighborhoods in the Netherlands. Using the Housing Research Netherlands survey and multinomial logistic regression analyses of moving out versus not moving or moving within the neighborhood, we found that ethnicity at the individual level was not of much importance for moving out. The combination of ethnicity at the individual level and the neighborhood level, however, appeared to be a rather important explanation of geographical mobility. Ethnic minorities are more likely than native Dutch to move within neighborhoods, and less likely to move away from them, as the share of non-western minorities in those neighborhoods increases. Native Dutch move away more frequently than ethnic minorities as the share of non-western ethnic minorities in neighborhoods is greater. These results suggest ethnic enclave formation or place stratification in the Netherlands.

“…While the percentage of Black residents peaked at 77% in 1975, in 1999 the estimated number of Black residents was down to 61%. There is a great deal of evidence (e.g., Fitzpatrick & Hwang, 1990;Massey & Denton, 1988;Schneider & Phelan, 1993;Stahura, 1989) that suggests a major demographic phenomenon was occurring in the 1970s and 1980s; namely Blacks were moving to the suburbs. Such "Black suburbanization" appears to have driven population decreases in Washington D.C. as well.…”

Interpreting “Percent Black”

Time series analysis is employed to assess the relationship between "percent Black" and violent crime in Washington D.C. over a 40-year period. Race-disaggregated violent crime arrest data are also examined. It is concluded that while there is some indication of a positive relationship between violent crime and "percent Black" over time, that relationship is not robust when disaggregated by race and crime type and may be limited to Black robbery offending. Further, it appears that "percent Black" may be serving as a proxy for other social problems. An exploration of possible correlates of racial disparity in violent arrests suggests that they are associated with a variety of factors, including social problems and their disparities.
