Nowhere to Launch? County-Level Correlates of Home-Leaving and Home-Returning
Coresidence with parents is now the most common living arrangement among young adults (ages 18–29) in the United States. For many, coresidence comes after first leaving home and living in an independent household. Recent shifts in these residential transitions has spurred renewed research in this area, with a focus on contemporaneous young adult characteristics, individual well-being, and the family context. Largely overlooked in this research is…
Neighborhood social environments, healthy resources, and adult diabetes: Accounting for activity space exposures
Tapped Out? Racial Disparities in Extrahousehold Kin Resources and the Loss of Homeownership
Research shows that extrahousehold kin economic resources contribute to the racial gap in transitions into homeownership, but the extent to which these resources matter for racial disparities in exits from homeownership is less understood. Using longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, 1984–2017, we examine the role of extrahousehold kin wealth and poverty in shaping racial inequalities in the risk of exiting homeownership. Our …
Home and away: Area socioeconomic disadvantage and obesity risk
Ethnoracial Diversity across the Rural-Urban Continuum
Scholarship and popular opinion regard cities as more racially and ethnically diverse than rural communities. However, recent trends hint at the possibility of less distinctive diversity profiles on either side of the metro-nonmetro divide. To explore this, we compare the magnitude and structure of ethnoracial diversity in more than 27,000 census-defined places arrayed across ten different types of county contexts that spanned the rural-urban con…
New Faces in Rural Places: Patterns and Sources of Nonmetropolitan Ethnoracial Diversity since 1990
Much of the research on ethnoracial diversity in nonmetropolitan America consists of case studies describing how the arrival of Hispanics has transformed a particular community. To complement this work, we examine the dimensions and sources of diversity for a sample of 10,000 nonmetro places. We identify two dimensions of diversity-magnitude and structure-and draw hypotheses about their changes and correlates from the spatial assimilation and loc…
Neighborhoods and Food Insecurity in Households with Young Children: A Disadvantage Paradox
In the United States, more than 1 in 5 households with children are unable to access and provide adequate food for a healthy, active lifestyle. We argue that the contribution of local context for food insecurity risk has largely been overlooked in favor of focusing on individual family characteristics, and that this is problematic given that mitigating food insecurity may be a communal process. We examine the relevance of neighborhood contributor…

White Residential Segregation in U.S. Metropolitan Areas: Conceptual Issues, Patterns, and Trends from the U.S. Census, 1980 to 2010
Sun Belt Rising: Regional Population Change and the Decline in Black Residential Segregation, 1970–2009
The goal of this study is to examine the extent to which population shifts over the post–Great Migration period and divergent trends in segregation across regions contributed to the overall decline in black segregation in the United States in recent decades. Using data from the 1970 to 2000 decennial censuses and the 2005–2009 American Community Survey (ACS), our analysis indicates that black dissimilarity and isolation declined more in the South…

Ethnic Residential Segregation by Nativity in Great Britain and the United States
This study examines patterns of ethnic residential integration in Great Britain and the United States. Using data from 2000/2001 censuses from these two countries, we compute segregation indexes for comparably-defined ethnic groups by nativity and for specific foreign-born groups. We find that blacks are much less segregated in Great Britain than in the U.S, and black segregation patterns by nativity tend to be consistent with spatial assimilatio…
Acquisition of Lecturing Skills by University Teaching Assistants: Some Effects of Interest, Topic Relevance, and Viewing a Model Videotape
Thirty-seven graduate teaching assistants participating in an instructional improvement program were randomly assigned to treatment and control (modeling, no modeling) groups for this study. The use of a model videotape, the subjects' interest in the instructural topic, and their assessment of the relevance of that topic were measured to determine possible effects of those variables on subsequent acquisition of the modeled behaviors. Results of a…
