The Utility of Distance-Based Segregation Indexes: Reply to Mitra
An Alternate Approach to the Development of a Distance-Based Measure of Racial Segregation
A new approach to the development of a distance-based measure of segregation is described. The index, termed the modified distance based index (MDBI), is similar in structure to Jakubs's (1981) recently introduced distance-based index, but for purposes of standardization it employs a different definition of complete segregation. The MDBI is algebraically specified in terms of the index of dissimilarity and its properties are described. It is sugg…
An Assessment of Some Technical Problems in the Comparative Study of Residential Segregation
It is common ground among urban ecologists that a segregation index used in comparative analysis should not have a 'built-in' relationship with any of the variables that are studied as correlates of segregation (Taeuber and Taeuber, 1965). The 'index war' (Peach, 1975), which raged between 1947 and 1955, was settled in favour of the index of dissimilarity (D) largely on account of the fact that it was perceived to measure segregation independentl…
Some Further Observations on the Index of Residential Differentiation
The relationship between the index of residential differentiation (RDI), a recently introduced measure of residential segregation which is designed to summarize the distribution of c social groups in a single index, and the indices of dissimilarity (D) and segregation (SI) is examined. It is demonstrated that RDI is a natural extension of D, and that when c = 2, RDI = D; when c> 2, it is possible to stipulate RDI in terms of SI, but it is not pos…
A Contribution to the Debate on Homogamy, Propinquity, and Segregation
This paper investigates the impact of the residential segregation of social status groups on the choice of marriage partner in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is suggested that homogamy and propinquity are independent influences on the choice of a spouse, but that segregation does not interact with distance to circumscribe choice. Segregation, nonetheless, appears to be important in its own right as, when degree of homogamy is controlled, there is …

The Bases of Family Status Segregation: A Case Study in Exeter
This paper employs 1971 Census data to examine the bases of family status segregation in Exeter, in an attempt to reconcile the recent research findings that there is a wide and contradictory pattern of housing use among households at similar stages of the family cycle with the frequently noted comparatively simple zonal distribution of family status groups. A classification of household types is outlined, and their segregation and distribution i…
