“…These metropolitan areas have lower transition probabilities into high diversity tracts especially from moderately diverse Asian tracts but also from moderately diverse White and Black tracts. This result aligns with the view that Black entry or presence in mixed neighborhoods is constrained (e.g., Flores and Lobo 2013).…”

This research concerns the location and stability of highly racially diverse census tracts in the United States. Like some other scholars, the authors define such tracts conservatively, requiring the significant presence of at least three racialized groups. Of the approximately 65,000 tracts in the country, there were 197 highly diverse tracts in 1990 and 998 in 2010. Most were located in large metropolitan areas. Stably integrated highly diverse tracts were the exception rather than the rule. The vast majority of highly diverse tracts transitioned to that state from being predominantly White. Those that transitioned from being highly racially diverse were most likely to transition to being majority Latino. Although the absolute level of metropolitan racial diversity has no effect on the stability of high-diversity tracts, change in both metropolitan-scale racial diversity and population raise the probability of a tract’s transitioning to high diversity. Metropolitan-scale racial diversity did not affect the stability of highly diverse tracts, but it did alter the patterns of succession from them. The authors also found that highly diverse tracts were unstable and less likely to form in metropolitan areas with high percentages of Blacks. Increased metropolitan-level diversity mutes this Black population share effect by reducing the probability of high-diversity tract succession to a Black majority.

“…Specifically, we would expect to see higher levels of segregation from Whites and lower segregation from Blacks among darker-skinned Hispanic groups, such as Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. 8 In a study of New York City residential pattern, Flores and Lobo (2013), while not looking at specific Asian and Hispanic subgroups, find that Whites, Asians, and to a lesser extent Hispanics are becoming residentially integrated with each other, but that Blacks remain more highly segregated. This supports the notion of an emerging Black/non-Black divide in the United States (Lee and Bean 2007).…”

“…Filipinos, with a past that includes colonial rule by the Spanish (and the U.S.), may be less segregated from Hispanics than other Asians groups. More generally, we might expect Asian subgroups to be less segregated from Whites than from Blacks and perhaps Hispanics, given the relatively high socioeconomic achievement levels of Asians and the salience of the Black/non-Black divide in the U.S. (Flores and Lobo 2013). …”

“…In addition, there has been little published work based either on the 2010 census on these specific groups, or that examined the segregation of these groups from a variety of other groups over time using multiple measures. Because of the growth in multiracial communities across the U.S., it has become increasingly important to examine the residential segregation between multiple groups to understand the importance of different ethnic divisions (Flores and Lobo 2013; Lee and Bean 2007). Thus, the goal of this study is to examine the residential patterns of both Asian and Hispanic ethnic groups over the 1980-2010 period.…”

Background Racial and ethnic diversity continues to grow in communities across the United States, raising questions about the extent to which different ethnic groups will become residentially integrated. Objective While a number of studies have examined the residential patterns of pan-ethnic groups, our goal is to examine the segregation of several Asian and Hispanic ethnic groups – Cubans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Salvadorans, Asian Indians, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, and Vietnamese. We gauge the segregation of each group from several alternative reference groups using two measures over the 1980 to 2010 period. Results We find that the dissimilarity of Hispanics and Asians from other groups generally held steady or declined, though, because most Hispanic and Asian groups are growing, interaction with Whites also often declined. Our analyses also indicate that pan-ethnic segregation indexes do not always capture the experience of specific groups. Among Hispanics, Mexicans are typically less residentially segregated (as measured using the dissimilarity index) from Whites, Blacks, Asians, and other Hispanics than are other Hispanic-origin groups. Among Asian ethnic groups, Japanese and Filipinos tend to have lower levels of dissimilarity from Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics than other Asian groups. Examining different dimensions of segregation also indicates that dissimilarity scores alone often do not capture to what extent various ethnic groups are actually sharing neighborhoods with each other. Finally, color lines vary across groups in some important ways, even as the dominant trend has been toward reduced racial and ethnic residential segregation over time. Conclusions The overarching trend is that ethnic groups are becoming more residentially integrated, suggestive of assimilation, though there is significant variation across ethnic groups.

“…A similar though less pronounced clustering is apparent in research that describes diversity patterns. Several neighborhood‐oriented investigations report a drop in the number of all‐white census tracts coupled with a marked increase in tracts shared by multiple ethnoracial groups (Farrell and Lee ; Flores and Lobo ; Holloway, Wright, and Ellis ; Logan and Zhang ). But whites’ sensitivity to minority neighbors may render multi‐ethnic tracts fragile, in part because whites leave such settings over time or are disinclined to move into them in the first place (Charles ; Crowder, Hall, and Tolnay ; Krysan et al.…”

The ethnoracial makeup of the U.S. population has undergone transformative change during recent decades, with the non-Hispanic white share of the population shrinking while the minority shares expand. Yet this trend toward greater racial diversity is not universal throughout the nation. Here we propose a framework of segmented change, which incorporates both spatial assimilation and ethnic stratification theories, to better understand variation in patterns of diversification across American communities. Our research applies growth mixture models to decennial census data on places for the 1980–2010 period, finding that trajectories of ethnoracial diversity are much more uneven than popularly claimed. Moreover, types of diversity change are stratified by initial racial composition. While places with mostly-white populations in 1980 underwent extensive diversification, places with larger shares of Hispanics and (especially) blacks in 1980 exhibited less uniform movement toward diversity and were more likely to remain racially homogeneous. Analysis of the underlying group-specific pathways of change indicates that the diversification of white communities was driven largely by Hispanic growth; when areas with a black presence did diversify, it occurred via contracting white populations. These racially conditioned and locally variable patterns emphasize the segmented nature of diversity change in American society.
