The Changing Distribution of U.S. Asian Populations across Urban and Suburban Ethnic Neighborhoods
Although prior scholarship has highlighted the challenge that suburban ethnic communities pose to traditional theories of assimilation, less attention has been given to how many Asian residents these neighborhoods capture relative to traditional urban enclaves. Without understanding this demographic reach, it is difficult to assess whether suburban concentration represents a modest extension of enclave settlement or a more substantial reorganizat…
What drives educational segregation and which communities are affected? Findings from a decomposition approach
Short-Lived Relief
This visualization examines time series and spatial trends in eviction case filings in St. Louis and St. Louis County before, during, and after the federal eviction moratorium. Scraping data from the Missouri Courts system for all eviction cases in the region from January 2017 thru December 2024, the authors compare how eviction rates rebounded across majority-white and majority-Black neighborhoods, particularly in light of the moratorium’s docum…
The Role of Suburbanization in Metropolitan Segregation After 1940
The three decades from 1940 through 1970 mark a turning point in the spatial scale of Black–White residential segregation in the United States compared with earlier years. We decompose metropolitan segregation into three components: segregation within the city, within the suburbs, and between the city and its suburbs. We then show that extreme levels of segregation were well established in most cities by 1940, and they changed only modestly by 19…
If Residential Segregation Persists, What Explains Widespread Increases in Residential Diversity
Recent studies have identified increasing residential diversity as a near-universal trend across the United States. At the same time, a wide range of scholarship notes the persistence of White flight and other mechanisms that reproduce residential segregation. In this article, we attempt to reconcile these findings by arguing that current trends toward increased residential diversity may sometimes mask population changes that are more consistent …
The Rise of Asian Ethnoburbs
The past several decades have seen the rise of the Asian "ethnoburb"-communities retaining a disproportionate Asian presence in middle-class and suburban settings. Recent explanations have suggested that ethnoburbs may manifest as a function of "resurgent ethnicity" that indirectly leads to Asian self-segregation. In this study, I examine whether Asian ethnoburbs can also arise as a function of stratification, where White population exodus coinci…
Detecting 'White Flight' in the Contemporary United States
Measuring the existence and patterning of white flight (WF) using aggregate data has a long history in the social sciences. In this article, we assess past measurement approaches and identify several technical and conceptual limitations. To address these shortcomings, we propose a new multicomponent approach to detecting WF that requires tracts to exceed a minimum level of loss across four distinct dimensions of population change. Using both simu…
Trespassers? Asian Americans and the Battle for Suburbia
In recent years, Asian immigrants have increasingly bypassed traditional immigrant destinations to settle in suburban areas. In Trespassers? Asian Americans and the Battle for Suburbia ̧ Willow S. Lung-Amam provides an examination of one of these suburbs, Fremont, California, where the Asian population grew from 2 to 51 percent between 1960 and 2010. With this rapid growth, Asian Americans have altered the landscape of the community. Lung-Amam th…
The persistence of white flight in middle-class suburbia
Racialized Assimilation of Asian Americans
Because of the generally high socioeconomic attainments and high intermarriage rates of Asian Americans, it has been suggested that Asian Americans are reaching parity with whites and are assimilating to mainstream American society. However, other research shows the continued significance of race for Asian Americans regardless of their socioeconomic status and levels of acculturation. This article provides a review of recent research on socioecon…
Rethinking the Connections between Religion and Civic Life for Immigrants
Through interviews with 33 Chinese American first- and second-generation immigrants, we ask how narratives that describe the link between religion and civic life differ among Buddhists, Christians, and nonreligious Chinese. All groups stress the tight institutional connections between religion and politics in the United States. For Chinese Christians, congregations provide opportunities to serve their fellow parishioners and the wider community, …
Motivating Civic Engagement
Here, we argue for the need to examine the particular contribution of religion to immigrant civic life by comparing a religious and a nonreligious ethnic organization. Specifically, we compare the justifications a Mexican Catholic Church (MCC) provides immigrants for civic service and the focal recipients of this service to those provided by a Mexican ethnic organization (MEO). Our findings show that each organization provides different rationale…
