“…Living among the own ethnic group is advantageous (Bolt et al, 2008) as co-ethnics can provide opportunities for employment, housing, social security (Logan et al, 2002;Musterd et al, 2008) and a sense of security and belonging (Phillips, 2007). The effect of the neighbourhood ethnic composition on satisfaction will therefore differ between ethnic groups.…”

a department of sociology, utrecht university, utrecht, the netherlands; b otB-Research for the Built environment, delft university of technology, delft, the netherlands ABSTRACT Residential satisfaction is a key variable in understanding residential mobility. Many researchers have studied the individual level and neighbourhood level determinants of satisfaction, however, very few have studied which neighbourhood characteristics affect satisfaction for whom. In this paper, ordered logit models are estimated, explaining satisfaction from neighbourhood characteristics, personal characteristics and interactions. These interactions test whether neighbourhood characteristics have similar effects on satisfaction for all individuals, or whether individual characteristics affect the size and direction of these effects. Satisfaction is found to be less affected by the share of ethnic minorities for ethnic minorities than for natives, because minorities are more satisfied in neighbourhoods with higher shares of their own ethnic group. Neighbourhood characteristics are found to have a stronger effect on satisfaction for owner-occupiers and parents with children than for others, however the impact of neighbourhood ethnic composition does not vary with tenure or household type.

“…An abundant literature has documented the important role that neighborhood context plays in a variety of individual outcomes ranging from life chances and life trajectories to lifestyles and health outcomes, regardless of individual background (e.g., Bjornstrom and Kuhl 2014;Choi 2009;Ellis and Almgren 2009;Kawachi and Berkman 2003;Kim et al 2011;Kimbro 2009;Li and Wu 2010;Logan, Alba, and Zhang 2002;Telles and Ortiz 2008;Wen, Hawkley, and Cacioppo 2006;Wen and Wang 2009). Evidence further suggests that perception of neighborhood environments is a crucial link between objective neighborhood conditions and health, and that perceived neighborhood contexts may even have stronger impacts on individual outcomes than objective neighborhood environments (Polling et al 2014;Weden, Carpiano, and Robert 2008;Wen, Hawkley, and Cacioppo 2006).…”

“…The selection of these confounding factors was based on evidence that these factors are linked to health and neighborhood contexts and may confound the associations of our key interest: perceived neighborhood physical and social environments and health (e.g., Ellis and Almgren 2009;Logan, Alba, and Zhang 2002;Semyonov, Gorodzeisky, and Glikma 2012;Wen and Wang 2009).…”

“…In testing aspects of Immigrant Spatial Assimilation Theory, research has generally confirmed the theoretical expectation that residence outside an ethnic concentration is related to increased socioeconomic status, a finding that seems to characterize most Canadian as well as United States places (Allen and Turner, 1996;Alba and Nee, 1999;Alba et al, 2000;Logan et al, 2002;Myles and Hou, 2004;South et al, 2005;Wright et al, 2005;Clark, 2006;Walks and Bourne, 2006). In other words, members of ethnic groups living outside ethnic concentrations tend to have greater educational attainment, better jobs, and/or higher incomes than members of the same groups living within ethnic concentrations.…”

Are residents of ethnic concentrations necessarily poor? We tested this notion with Census 2000 data for Asian and Latino households in the New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco CMSAs. Ethnic concentrations included all census tracts in which the group comprised over 40% of the population. While many residential concentrations had low incomes, 11% of concentrated Latinos and 57% of concentrated Asians had incomes above their metropolitan medians for all households. Moreover, 18% of concentrated Asians lived in tracts with incomes at least 50% higher than the metropolitan medians. Higher-income residents within concentrations were more likely to be U.S.-born and proficient in English. Thus scholars need to revise the widespread view that people living in ethnic concentrations are poor. Many Asians and Latinos who can afford homes in mostly White neighborhoods prefer to live where both Whites and their group are well represented.
