Black Pioneers, Intermetropolitan Movers, and Housing Desegregation
The Diverging Paths of Black-White Segregation in Urban America, 1970-1990
Measures of Black-White housing segregation show striking uniformity across metropolitan areas in 1970 and very uneven—sometimes quite large—declines in the 1970s and 1980s. We argue that after 1970, Black households were more likely to move into neighborhoods far from existing Black enclaves and that when they did so in substantial numbers, metropolitan-level segregation declined significantly. We further argue that the volume of Black migration…
Gas Leaks, Gas Shutoffs, and Environmental Justice in New York City
Gas leaks in cities with older infrastructure are relatively common. The unburned methane which they release is a potent greenhouse gas with harmful health effects. Using administrative municipal data on gas leak reports, we provide a systematic analysis of residential gas leaks in New York City and their association with socioeconomic inequality. We find that both the reporting of gas leaks and the prevalence of resulting residential gas shutoff…
Assessing spatial and racial equity of subway accessibility: Case study of New York City
What Would It Take to Desegregate U.S. Metropolitan Areas? Pathways to Residential Desegregation by Race
Patterns of household mobility across neighborhoods reproduce patterns of racial segregation at the metropolitan level. Substantial literature across the social sciences has explored the scale and predictors of household mobility as well as changes in metropolitan residential segregation over time. This study unifies these two strands of inquiry by connecting the sorting of households across neighborhoods to aggregate changes in segregation level…
Moving toward Integration: The Past and Future of Fair Housing
Reducing residential segregation has proven to be the best way to reduce racial inequality in employment, earnings, test scores, and longevity. Moving toward Integration explains why racial segregation has been resilient, and how public policy, aligned with demographic trends, can achieve housing integration within a generation
Subsidized Housing and the Transition to Adulthood
Despite abundant evidence about the effect of children’s socioeconomic circumstances on their transition to adulthood, we know much less about the effect of social policy programs aimed at poor families with children in facilitating how and when children become adults. This issue is particularly important for the U.S. federal subsidized housing program given its long history of placing subsidized units in some of the poorest and most racially seg…
Structural versus ethnic dimensions of housing segregation
Racial residential segregation is still very high in many American cities. Some portion of segregation is attributable to socioeconomic differences across racial lines (what we call structural factors); some portion is caused by purely racial factors, such as housing market discrimination and preferences for the race of one’s neighbors. Past attempts to measure the structural component of segregation have generally focused on only 1 socioeconomic…

Subsidized Housing and the Concentration of Poverty, 1977–2008: A Comparison of Eight U.S. Metropolitan Areas
This paper examines the link between subsidized housing and the concentration of poverty. I use newly available data from the Department of Housing and Urban Development that extends from the earliest years of subsidized housing reform to the present day. I find that substantial changes in the poverty rate of neighborhoods occurred predominantly in census tracts that experienced more than a 5 percent increase or decrease in their share of subsidi…
