The Effect of Residential Segregation on Black Social and Economic Well- Being

Ever‐More Rooted Americans

“…5 A review of the literature to 1977 appears in Fischer et al (1977:177-85); see also Long (1998). More recent studies are consistent with this summary -e.g., Ross et al (2000), Buckhauser et al (1995), Massey et al (1987), Alba et al (1994), and South and Crowder (1997). One ethnographic example of the "trapped" elderly is Ginsburg (1975).…”

Residential Segregation and Latino, Black and White Mortality in New York City

“…2 Many studies have shown that black mortality rates are higher in metropolitan areas with high levels of segregation as compared to areas with lower levels of segregation. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The adverse effects on health are felt to occur through poorer residential area quality and its effects on health behaviors and health care, independent of individual and/or area level socioeconomic status (SES). 2 The studies cited above used various measures to define segregation, ranging from population composition 6,7,11,12 to more formally defined measures.…”

[3][4][5][8][9][10] Though the use of population composition as a proxy for segregation is neither technically nor conceptually the same as the formal constructs, the studies that used population composition as a measure of segregation 6,7,11 have also found that black mortality rates are higher in areas with a high proportion of blacks.…”

The segregation literature, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] for the most part, has used large geographical areas as the unit of analysis or has compared smaller areas across a broad geography but generally not focused on the local impacts of segregation that result in areas with both low and high residential race/ethnic minority concentrations within a metropolitan area.…”

Designing for equality: Conceptualising a tool for strategic territorial planning

“…In Latin America, the study of inequality combines the following three specific approaches: (i) it follows the modern theories of URS, the origins of which lie in the combination of individual preference, collective behaviour and institutional factors (Galster & Hill, 1992;Massey, Condran, & Denton, 1987); (ii) it groups populations based on their socio-economic characteristics in order to fully understand the presence of deep, entrenched inequalities and the perpetuation of poverty in the region (Arriagada & Rodrı´guez, 2003, p. 10;Rodrı´guez, 2001, p. 14), and lastly (iii) it emphasises the negative effects of URS.…”
