Article Synopsis
- The article analyzes trends in residential segregation in the U.S. from 1960 to 2000, focusing on race, ethnicity, class, and life cycle factors.
- Using the Theil index, it decomposes segregation into various geographic levels—regional, metropolitan, and neighborhood—to understand the reasons for residential separation.
- Findings indicate that while segregation among blacks decreased due to more integrated neighborhoods, segregation among the foreign-born and class segregation increased, with wealthier individuals clustering in specific areas and unmarried people moving to city centers.
