“…According to the group affinity hypothesis, social networks and institutional resources are more likely to flourish in large, viable ethnic communities (Hou 2006). The establishment of an ethnic infrastructure (churches, workplaces, schools, shops, restaurants and other leisure-time meeting places) in certain suburban locations starts the processes of circular and cumulative causation that lead to the formation of suburban ethnic clusters, socalled 'ethnoburbs' (Barrett and McEvoy 2006;Li 2009;Lichter et al 2010;Muñoz 2011). But ethnic concentrations in the suburbs are not necessarily the result of choice.…”

“…Studies in Western European countries and the US have shown clear ethnic dimensions to suburbanisation (Bolt et al 2008;Clark 2006;Goodwin-White 2007;Li 2009;Lichter et al 2010;Massey and Denton 1988;Stillwell and Hussain 2010;Teixeira 2007). In these countries, ethnic minorities are often less likely to move to more affluent middle-class suburbs and tend to concentrate within a limited number of neighbourhoods in urban areas.…”

“…Segregation and housing research has highlighted that Latinos tend to be more segregated in new destinations (Lichter, Parisi, Taquino, and Grice 2010), with neighbors who are more likely to be poor, contributing to the concentration of poverty (Quillian 2012). As such, Latinos in new destinations seem to face a tougher economic and social context for adaption, integration, and assimilation (Massey 2008;Massey and Pren 2012).…”

Assessing the Effects of Recent Immigration on Serious Property Crime in Austin, Texas

In this article the authors examine the impact of recent immigration on rates of serious property crime across communities in Austin, Texas. The greater Austin foreign-born population has increased by more than 580 percent since 1980, and Austin is considered a “preemerging” immigrant gateway city to the United States. The changing population dynamics in Austin provide an excellent opportunity to study the effect of recent immigration on crime in a target destination for recent immigrants. Although interest in the relationship between violent crime and immigration to new locales is evidenced by recent studies that show less favorable outcomes for Latinos in new destinations, little attention has been directed to the relationship of recent immigration with serious property crime in new destinations. Negative binomial regression models with corrections for spatial autocorrelation indicate that recent immigration is not associated with an increased rate of burglary, larceny, or motor vehicle theft once important structural predictors of crime are controlled for.

“…Other research has identified that Mexicans, the largest Latino population in the United States, accumulate social capital through their employment and from living in neighborhoods with increased homeownership [3]. Increased residential segregation, especially in cities with a newly arriving population, could weaken the mechanisms through which social capital is accumulated [4]. Puerto Rican neighborhoods provide opportunities to accumulate social capital, but a combination of individual-and neighborhood-level factors could influence the type of social capital accumulated.…”

Social Capital Accumulation among Puerto Rican Mothers in Urban Neighborhoods

Abstract:Social capital provides access to material and personal resources through participation in social networks and other social structures. Social capital may not function equally for all populations, especially those living in residentially segregated urban neighborhoods with increased levels of poverty. This is because inequalities exist in social capital accumulation and are found where disadvantaged socioeconomic groups cluster. Using probabilistic household survey data consisting of 205 Puerto Rican mothers in Springfield, Massachusetts in 2013, this research tests hypotheses regarding the association of social capital accumulation with Puerto Rican mothers' individual, neighborhood, and social network characteristics. Logistic regression results suggested that Puerto Rican mothers who were employed and lived in neighborhoods with other Latinos were more likely to accumulate social capital. In addition, mothers who participated in activities of their children also had increased social capital accumulation. This neighborhood effect on social capital accumulation may promote bonding social capital but not bridging social capital among these Puerto Rican mothers.
