Stated neighbourhood preferences: Examining the impact of individual background and neighbourhood characteristics
Neighbourhood preferences play a central role in the dynamics of spatial segregation. This paper investigates how stated neighbourhood preferences relate to individual background and the characteristics of current neighbourhoods. We use the Swedish Neighbourhood Survey 2020 that includes preferences and attitudes, linked to individual‐level register data and a multi‐dimensional, multi‐scale typology of neighbourhoods. Respondents indicated their …
Neighbouring in Present‐Day Sweden: The Role of Neighbourhood Type, Housing and Personality
Interaction with neighbours is important not only for individual well‐being but also for social cohesion. This paper examines how neighbouring – the extent to which residents interact with their neighbours – varies across sociodemographic clusters beyond the conventional urban‐rural binary and investigates how housing characteristics and personality traits are further associated with neighbourly interactions. Utilising the Neighbourhood Survey 20…
Spatial Sorting of Well‐being in Sweden: The Role of Attitudes Towards the Neighbourhood and Neighbourhood Type
Recently, spatial sorting of well‐being at the neighbourhood level has received attention. As most studies merely focus on the distribution itself or one neighbourhood aspect in relation to well‐being, this study examined well‐being by neighbourhood type, and how residents’ attitudes to the neighbourhood might influence this relationship. The study uses a survey based on a sample of residents stratified among ten different neighbourhood types. We…
The Initial Residential Patterns of Immigrants across the Urban Hierarchy in Sweden: The Role of Educational Attainment
This study employs the aspirations‐capabilities framework to explore the intricate interplay between choices and constraints shaping migrants' settlement patterns, with a particular emphasis on the often‐overlooked aspect of educational attainment. Using Swedish register data containing information about migrants' educational level, this paper examines and typifies the initial residential sorting patterns of migrants arriving in Sweden in the per…
New immigration destinations in Sweden: Migrant residential trajectories intersecting rural areas
This paper aims to examine the residential trajectories of immigrants that intersect rural areas in Sweden. It adds to the literature on new immigration destinations (NIDs) and addresses the need to include migration routes intersecting rural areas, immigrants' secondary migration patterns and temporal dimensions of migration, as well as the multiplicity of migrants in such destinations. We examine whether NIDs have emerged in Sweden and immigran…
Cumulative disadvantage during childhood: The association between moving and accumulated neighborhood deprivation over a child’s life course in the Netherlands
While the importance of residential moves and neighborhood context forchildren is widely recognized, few studies examine childhood mobility andneighborhood context together and over time. Using a typology of mobilitytrajectories based on frequency, age, distance and change in populationdensity, this study analyzes the interrelatedness between mobility trajectoriesand socioeconomic neighborhood composition throughout childhood.Using full-populatio…
Escaping one's disadvantage? Neighbourhoods, socioeconomic origin and children's adult life outcomes
This study investigates if neighbourhoods can alter the strong relationship between parental background and children's adult outcomes. In particular, we examine if neighbourhood effects are heterogeneous in such a way that they are particularly important for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, and if school quality has a mediating effect in this equation. Using register data and individualized neighbourhoods, we follow five full birth cohort…
Gendered fear of crime in the urban context: A comparative multilevel study of women’s and men’s fear of crime
Women generally feel more fearful than men. We study this so-called fear-gender gap, by contributing to a growing body of quantitative gender-sensitive research inspired by feminist theory. We depart from traditional quantitative fear of crime research that fails to examine how determinants of fear of crime impact women and men differently. We use a Dutch governmental survey, linked to neighborhood characteristics, to conduct multilevel modeling …
Socio-economic segregation in European cities. A comparative study of Brussels, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Oslo and Stockholm
The purpose of this study is to compare socioeconomic segregation patterns and levels in Brussels, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Oslo, and Stockholm with uniform measurements. Previous research has been hampered by conceptual and methodological shortcomings. We use harmonized datasets containing geocoded indicators based on a nearest-neighbors approach. Our analyses offer an unprecedented comparison of patterns and levels of socio-spatial inequalities i…
Migrant labour market integration: The association between initial settlement and subsequent employment and income among migrants
The neighbourhood effects literature indicates that a person's place of residence may affect their socio-economic situation. This study examines the association between the initial settlement and immigrants’ employment and income. Previous studies mostly used administratively defined geographical units of study, which may have led to an underestimation of neighbourhood effects. The current study uses individualized neighbourhoods, where neighbour…
Who Moves to Whom? Gender Differences in the Distance Moved to a Shared Residence
Although the migration of couples and families is well examined, the migration that occurs at the start of co-residence has only been minimally studied. This study examines (1) whether women move more often and move over longer distances at the start of co-residence and (2) whether gender differences (if any) stem from compositional differences between women and men, such as gender differences in ties, or if they are the consequence of the within…
Partner choice in Sweden: How distance still matters
Spatial homogamy, or the geographical closeness of life partners, has received little attention in recent decades. Theoretically, partners may be found anywhere in the world, as increases in educational participation, affluence, mobility and internet access have reduced the meaning of geographical distance in general. This paper examines whether geography still matters in the Swedish partner market, by examining distances between partners before …
Residential Segregation of European and Non-European Migrants in Sweden: 1990–2012
In this paper, we analyse how a migrant population that is both expanding and changing in composition has affected the composition of Swedish neighbourhoods at different scales. The analysis is based on Swedish geocoded individual-level register data for the years 1990, 1997, 2005, and 2012. This allows us to compute and analyse the demographic composition of neighbourhoods that range in size from encompassing the nearest 100 individuals to the n…

Binational Marriages in Sweden: Is There an EU Effect
This paper explores and explains the partner choice of Swedes in the period 1991–2008. The partner market for Swedes has expanded considerably in the last few decades, because of EU expansion, globalisation processes, and an increased diversity of the migrant population. Besides increased opportunities, citizens who are better educated, younger, and more mobile might prefer foreign partners of their own kind. The paper focuses on marriages betwee…
Explaining the Flight of Cupid’s Arrow: A Spatial Random Utility Model of Partner Choice
That's a Different Kind of Person’ – Spatial Connotations and Partner Choice
The paper investigates the process of partner choice and the specific role of geographical distance in this process. This focus on the spatial component is a unique and new approach to address the topic. By adopting a qualitative approach, the decision‐making process preceding partner choice is captured, including the preferences people have for partners, the norms influencing partner choice, and the places people go to meet potential partners. I…
Spatial Homogamy: The Geographical Dimensions of Partner Choice
Individuals tend to find life partners who are similar to themselves, a phenomenon known as homogamy. This study focuses on spatial homogamy, which is the similarity regarding the geographical origin of partners. Adopting a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, the geographical dimension of partner choice is explored for the Netherlands. Distance decay is highly pertinent for Dutch cohabitation partners: half of them meet …
Waar ontmoeten partners elkaar? - Sociale differentiatie in ontmoetingsplaatsen
Where do partners meet? Social differentiation in meeting places .Meeting places form a vital link in the process of partner choice, in which preferences, norms and opportunities to meet partners play a role. Using the ‘Onderzoek Gezinsvorming’ 2003, we find that the partner market is segmented by relationship career, education, age, religion and geography. Public places are popular among youngsters, the lower educated, Catholics and the rural po…
Effects of the Fertility Transition on Birth Seasonality in the Netherlands
Synchronous with the decline in fertility that took place in the post-war period in the Netherlands, patterns of birth seasonality changed as well. In this paper seasonal fluctuations in fertility in the Netherlands are examined using population register data for the period 1952 to 2005. The peak in births has changed from spring to summer and subsequently to August/September, thereby shifting from the European to the American pattern. The season…
Geography matters: Patterns of spatial homogamy in the Netherlands
‘Cupid may have wings, but apparently they are not adapted for long flights.’ Studies on the spatial dimension of the partner market have found that the number of marriages declines as the distance between potential spouses increases. This paper explores the role of geographical distance in partner choice in the Netherlands. The availability of unique integral micro data from the population register enables us to study spatial homogamy among all …
Coping with Time: Using a Local Time-Path Calendar to Reduce Heaping in Durations
Reproductive health surveys often face difficulties in measuring age and durations. Heaping is the phenomenon that certain dates, ages or durations are over-or underrepresented. Following the calendar method used in several Demographic and Health Surveys, the current research proposes the use of a local timepath calendar, based on time perceptions of women in South India. The objective of the calendar is to reduce heaping in the durations of post…
