The Early Childhood Care and Education Landscape in Ascending Neighborhoods
This paper descriptively documents the early childhood care and education (ECE) landscape in neighborhoods that experienced socioeconomic (SES) ascent and descent in the Chicago Metropolitan Area (MSA) between 2009 and 2019. Using data from the Illinois Early Childhood Asset Map and the American Community Survey, we analyze changes in ECE seats across provider types. SES ascent was most prevalent in Cook County, where zip code tabulation areas (Z…
Race, segregated urban mobility, and socioeconomic ascent: A neighborhood network approach
Past research on neighborhood ascent—socioeconomic increases among residents and housing—focuses on residential environments, overlooking how connections beyond their boundaries influence neighborhood change. Using geocoded tweets from over 375,000 Twitter users in the 50 most populous US cities, we explore how a city’s mobility network relates to neighborhood socioeconomic (SES) ascent from 2010 to 2019—whether ascent is more likely in cities mo…
Beyond the residential neighborhood: A scoping review of research on urban neighborhood networks
An emerging framework has expanded the neighborhood effects perspective by recognizing that exposure to, and the impact of, neighborhood conditions extend beyond the residential environment. This framework conceptualizes neighborhoods as embedded within a citywide network, with ties based on the durable, aggregated, and socially meaningful connections linking residents across a city. Measuring neighborhood conditions solely within residential are…
Millennials as a Demographic Bridge to Diversity? Segregation and Diversity of Young Adult Neighborhoods
As young adults, the Millennial generation emerged as the largest and most racially and ethnically diverse generation in U.S. history. These unique demographic characteristics, along with more progressive self-reported views on racial and ethnic issues, prompted some to label this generation as a demographic bridge to America’s diverse future. This article examines whether these unique characteristics translate into greater neighborhood racial di…
Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and child health: The role of neighborhood mobility networks
How long-term changes in neighborhood and school racial composition shape children's behavior problems
While Some Things Change, Do Others Stay the Same? The Heterogeneity of Neighborhood Health Returns to Gentrification
Gentrification is associated with decreases in neighborhood poverty and crime, increases in amenities and services, among other benefits-all identified as structural determinants of health. However, gentrification is also associated with population-level replacement of the existing community, or threats thereof. Combining census data from the ten largest MSAs in the U.S. with tract-level estimates from the CDC-PLACES Project from 2013-14 to 2017-…
The Dual Role of Race and Immigration Among Ascending Neighborhoods in U.S. Metropolitan Areas
The neighborhood ethnoracial and socioeconomic context of public elementary school closures in U.S. metropolitan areas
Public school closures are increasing in number and size in U.S. cities. When public schools close, heated debates typically ensue. A central argument within this debate asserts that schools being closed are more likely to be located in minority, socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods, and thus their abandonment has the potential for widening racial and socioeconomic gaps and exacerbating spatial inequality. Using school attendance boundar…
Segregated Neighborhoods, Segregated Schools: Do Charters Break a Stubborn Link
Residential and school segregation have historically mirrored each other, with school segregation seen as simply reflecting residential patterns given neighborhood-based school assignment policy. We argue that the relationship is circular, such that school options also influence residential outcomes. We hypothesize that the expansion of charter schools could simultaneously lead to an increase in school segregation and a decrease in residential se…
From residence to movement: The nature of racial segregation in everyday urban mobility
While research on racial segregation in cities has grown rapidly over the last several decades, its foundation remains the analysis of the neighbourhoods where people reside. However, contact between racial groups depends not merely on where people live, but also on where they travel over the course of everyday activities. To capture this reality, we propose a new measure of racial segregation – the segregated mobility index (SMI) – that captures…
The neighborhood context of school openings: Charter school expansion and socioeconomic ascent in the United States
In this study, we examine the association between neighborhood socioeconomic ascent from 1990 to 2010 and charter school openings from 2010 to 2016 using a national sample of school attendance boundaries in the U.S. We first index school attendance boundaries into typologies according to their demographic profiles in 2010, and changes along multiple components of socioeconomic status from 1990 to 2010. We then examine whether charter schools were…
Choosing Schools in Changing Places: Examining School Enrollment in Gentrifying Neighborhoods
School choice expansion in recent decades has weakened the strong link between neighborhoods and schools created under a strict residence-based school assignment system, decoupling residential and school enrollment decisions for some families. Recent work suggests that the neighborhood-school link is weakening the most in neighborhoods experiencing gentrification. Using a novel combination of individual, school, and neighborhood data that link ch…
Change Agents” on Two Wheels: Claiming Community and Contesting Spatial Inequalities through Cycling in Los Angeles
This study uses participant observation to examine how an all–female collective in Los Angeles uses urban cycling culture as a way to contest inequalities and advocate for social change in communities of color. Bridging the literatures on gentrification and social movements, I examine how the collective uses the bicycle as a unifying tool to draw disparate individuals together and, through the group's practices and rituals, generates a shared sen…
Social and spatial inequalities of educational opportunity: A portrait of schools serving high- and low-income neighbourhoods in US metropolitan areas
Neighbourhoods and schools are both important contexts for children’s wellbeing. While often posited, little evidence documents inequalities in schools serving high- and low-income neighbourhoods. In this article, we use geospatial techniques to combine five administrative data sets to examine the characteristics of local public schools serving high- and low-income neighbourhoods in US metropolitan areas in 2013–2014. We find that high-income nei…
Neighbourhood change and the neighbourhood-school gap
Few studies examine how school and neighbourhood composition in the US correspond over time, particularly in a context of neighbourhood change. As neighbourhoods diversify along racial and economic lines, do public schools also diversify or grow increasingly dissimilar from their surrounding areas? Drawing on novel data linking neighbourhoods and schools in the US in 2000 and 2010, I document: how racial composition corresponds over time between …
Racial/Ethnic Transition and Hierarchy Among Ascending Neighborhoods
This article examines the racial/ethnic population dynamics of ascending neighborhoods—those experiencing socioeconomic growth. Drawing on Census and American Community Survey data from 1990 to 2010, we first explore whether changes in racial/ethnic composition occur alongside ascent. We find that, while most neighborhoods’ racial/ethnic composition does not dramatically change during this period, neighborhoods that experienced ascent are much mo…
