Geography of immigrant clusters in global cities: a case study of San Francisco

Abstract: Cities throughout the world – particularly global cities – are becoming increasingly heterogeneous as a result of international migration movements. During the past three decades, the influx of immigrants into metropolitan areas like New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco has increased demand for housing, exacerbating the already tight housing markets in these cities. This article focuses on the spatial distribution and housing conditions of immigrants in San Francisco using primarily the 2000 US census data … Show more

“…Depending on the group and precisely how residential concentrations are defined, between about 25 percent and 6o percent of most group members in greater Los Angeles lived within these as of 2000 (Allen and Turner 2002). In San Francisco, contemporary residential concentrations for Mexican, Chinese, and Filipino immigrants were clearly present in 2000 (Pamuk 2004). …”

“…As noted earlier, Houston's urban revival can also be viewed within the context of gentrification-capital reinvestment and displacement "on which fortunes are made" through the cleansing of traditional communities (Smith, 1986, p. 34; see also Clark, 1995;Filion, 1991;Hackworth and Smith, 2001;Hedin et al, 2012;Smith, 1979;Wyly and Hammel, 1999;2001;2004). Numerous studies have already explored gentrification processes in Houston's urban renaissance (Vojnovic, 2003a(Vojnovic, , 2003bPodagrosi and Vojnovic, 2008).…”

“…Saiz (2003Saiz ( , 2007 asserted that potentially the biggest impact of immigration on cities is their effect on housing, as immigrants contribute to higher prices and rents. Pamuk (2004) presented evidence that during the past three decades, immigrants became the main demographic driver of housing demand in major American cities. Literature has also focused on the impact of ethnically owned financial institutions in facilitating development in ethnic neighborhoods.…”

“…However, most commonly they have been measured in terms of census tracts with a relatively high ethnic-group percentage, either as a value applied consistently to the various groups or as a variable percentage or location quotient based on the group's percentage in the city or metropolitan area as a whole (Hum and Zonta, 2000;Logan et al, 2002;Poulsen et al, 2002;Pamuk, 2004). Several scholars have defined ethnic concentrations as those census tracts in which the group's proportion was five times that in the metropolitan area as a whole (Logan et al, 2002;Parks, 2004;Allen and Turner, 2005).…”

“…These also illustrate the pattern of large Latino concentrations containing neighborhoods that differ greatly in their income levels, although we suspect that outsiders automatically stereotype these ethnic concentrations as exhibiting low income levels. San Francisco's largest and best-known Latino concentration is the low-income Mission District, home to Mexicans and Central Americans (Godfrey, 2004;Pamuk, 2004; Fig. 7).…”
