“…On the other hand, studies have shown that blacks and Hispanics reside in
lower-quality neighborhoods than whites, even among those with greater income or
that live in suburbs, controlling for relevant socioeconomic and demographic
factors, thereby suggesting that other factors are affecting their variation in
household locational attainment (Alba et al,
1999; Alba et al, 2000; Friedman and Rosenbaum, 2007; Logan and Alba, 1993; Logan et al, 1996; Rosenbaum and
Friedman, 2007; Woldoff and Ovadia,
2009). The majority of the work done on middle-class household
neighborhood quality so far has used qualitative methodological approaches, with the
most prominent work having been done on African Americans (Lacy, 2007; Pattillo,
2007; Pattillo-McCoy, 1999) and
Hispanics (Vallejo, 2010, 2012).…”
