“…Our study, based on repeated general population seroprevalence measures, showed that while the overexposure to Covid-19 infection of first-generation immigrants was strongly linked to their living conditions at the beginning of the epidemic, the overexposure observed six months later for the first and especially the second generation, who have more social contacts more than their elders, is not the result of a lesser respect for barrier gestures or of more frequent outings than the native-born ( S1 Table ). It could result from micro-social structural effects, because of the phenomena of socio-spatial segregation [ 23 ] and territorialized socialization [ 24 ]. Second-generation immigrants are very often grouped together, facilitating the circulation of the virus in social groups where the prevalence is higher.…”

Background We aimed to study whether social patterns of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection changed in France throughout the year 2020, in light to the easing of social contact restrictions. Methods A population-based cohort of individuals aged 15 years or over was randomly selected from the national tax register to collect socio-economic data, migration history, and living conditions in May and November 2020. Home self-sampling on dried blood was proposed to a 10% random subsample in May and to all in November. A positive anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA IgG result against the virus spike protein (ELISA-S) was the primary outcome. The design, including sampling and post-stratification weights, was taken into account in univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Of the 134,391 participants in May, 107,759 completed the second questionnaire in November, and respectively 12,114 and 63,524 were tested. The national ELISA-S seroprevalence was 4.5% [95%CI: 4.0%-5.1%] in May and 6.2% [5.9%-6.6%] in November. It increased markedly in 18-24-year-old population from 4.8% to 10.0%, and among second-generation immigrants from outside Europe from 5.9% to 14.4%. This group remained strongly associated with seropositivity in November, after controlling for any contextual or individual variables, with an adjusted OR of 2.1 [1.7–2.7], compared to the majority population. In both periods, seroprevalence remained higher in healthcare professions than in other occupations. Conclusion The risk of Covid-19 infection increased among young people and second-generation migrants between the first and second epidemic waves, in a context of less strict social restrictions, which seems to have reinforced territorialized socialization among peers.

“…Similar patterns have also been observed outside the United States. Floch (2017) finds higher levels of segregation for the highest income group across 12 French cities. One possible explanation for such patterns is that poorer residents might end up in more diverse neighborhoods than the richest residents.…”

This paper provides a comparative assessment of income segregation within cities in 12 countries. We use spatial entropy indexes based on small-scale gridded income data and consistent definition of city boundaries to ensure international comparability of our segregation measures. Results show considerable variation in the levels of income segregation across cities, even within countries, reflecting the diversity of cities within urban systems. Larger, more affluent, productive, and more unequal cities tend to be more segregated. Urban form, demographic, and economic factors explain additional variation in segregation levels through the influence of high-income households, who tend to be the most segregated. The positive association between productivity and segregation is mitigated in polycentric cities.

Standards of living and segregation in twelve French metropolises

Abstract: The socio-demographic contrasts between the 13 new metropolitan regions are relatively small compared to those observed in other European countries. At the national level, territorial disruption occurs more within regions than between them.
