“…An extensive research literature documents the influence of ethnic preferences on residential patterns, pointing to a combination of economic constraints, own-race affinity, and discriminatory practices as fostering and perpetuating residential separation (Clark 2002;Morrill 1995;Yu and Myers 2007). Wealthy African Americans living in integrated suburban neighborhoods demonstrate the importance of affordability (Clark and Ware 1997).…”

Landlords and realtors occasionally are identified as causal agents in the creation or maintenance of segregated neighborhoods. The existence of racial/ethnic separation at local scales, however, is no sure proof of illegal discriminatory acts or intentions by housing market agents. Other factors can and do produce racial/ethnic separation within neighborhoods. Applied demographic analysis can play a part in clarifying what constitutes discrimination and in evaluating the statistical data used to screen for unlawful acts of discrimination within local housing markets. We report a study of tenancy and tenancy turnover in a group of apartment buildings located in a densely settled and ethnically diverse neighborhood in Los Angeles. Turnover in these buildings altered the ethnic mix of tenants, increasing the Asian proportion and decreasing the Hispanic proportion. We trace this change to two market processes that differentiate tenants economically and by differing preferences for luxurious housing: (1) an upgrading of housing stock, which repositioned certain rental units at a higher price point; and (2) the market response to newlyavailable luxury units. These processes promote ethnically homogeneous apartmentbuilding ''neighborhoods'' within an otherwise unsegregated ethnically diverse area.

“…One criticism of the dissimilarity index for measuring evenness is that it does not account for the spatial arrangement of units used in the calculations. Over time, there have been a number of spatial Gini and dissimilarity indices introduced to incorporate arrangement (or spatial autocorrelation) into measurements of residential segregation at both the global and local levels (Dawkins, ; Lloyd, Shuttleworth, & McNair, ; Morrill, ; O'Sullivan & Wong, ; Rey & Smith, ; Wong, ). These efforts are important for describing how groups relate to each other over space.…”

Access to certain types of facilities can promote health and well-being. When population and facilities are not uniformly distributed across the landscape, inequities in accessibility may occur. Current research into GIS-based accessibility measures has focused primarily on spatial inequities between different geographic locations but not directly on differences in accessibility between subgroups of the population. The research presented here develops a new method for measuring differential accessibility to facilities between various segments of the population. The method extends concepts and techniques in spatial point pattern analysis that account for the spatial structure of demand and its relationship to supply. In this approach, the traditional Lorenz curve and its associated indices, the Gini coefficient and the dissimilarity index, which are used to measure inequality, are recast in spatial terms for measuring differences in accessibility between population subgroups.An analysis of spatial accessibility to grocery stores in Akron, OH illustrates the value of the spatial Lorenz curve and its associated indices compared to other methods.

The evolution of Seattle's “Central Area” or “CD” is traced for eighty years from 1930 through 2010. Relevant theory about social and economic discrimination and urban development is presented first. This is followed by a brief history of the Central Area as a black community and a review of relevant literature. The changing distribution of the Central Area is presented through a series of maps, from an unexpected origin and development in a relatively desirable area east of downtown Seattle to its gradual displacement far southward, as central Seattle experienced gentrification. This spatial change is evaluated with respect to the expectations from theory presented earlier.
