Global Neighborhoods: New Pathways to Diversity and Separation
2010
Analyses of neighborhood racial composition in 1980-2000 demonstrate that in multiethnic metropolitan regions there is an emerging pathway of change that leads to relatively stable integration These are \"global neighborhoods\" where Hispanics and Asians are the pioneer integrators of previously all-white zones, later followed by blacks. However, region-wide segregation is maintained at high levels by whites' avoidance of all-minority areas and by their continued exodus (albeit at reduced levels) from mixed settings. Globalization of neighborhoods adds a positive new element of diversity that alters but does not erase the traditional dynamic of minority invasion succession.

If Residential Segregation Persists, What Explains Widespread Increases in Residential Diversity?
2023
Recent studies have identified increasing residential diversity as a near-universal trend across the United States. At the same time, a wide range of scholarship notes the persistence of White flight and other mechanisms that reproduce residential segregation. In this article, we attempt to reconcile these findings by arguing that current trends toward increased residential diversity may sometimes mask population changes that are more consistent with racial turnover and eventual resegregation. Specifically, we show that increases in diversity occur nearly identically across neighborhoods where White populations remain stable
decline in the face of non-White population growth. Our findings demonstrate that, particularly in its early stages, racial turnover decouples diversity and integration, leading to increases in diversity without corresponding increases in residential integration. These results suggest that in many neighborhoods, diversity increases may be transitory phenomena driven primarily by a neighborhood's location in the racial turnover process. In the future, stalled or decreasing levels of diversity may become more common in these areas as segregation persists and the process of racial turnover continues.

Validating the White Flight Hypothesis: Neighborhood Racial Composition and Out-Migration in Two Longitudinal Surveys
2024
Empirical research assessing the link between neighborhood racial composition and out-migration has largely relied on a single sample from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). In this article, we validate these models by comparing estimates from the PSID to estimates from identical models based on internal Census data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). Doing so serves two purposes: (1) as a replication exercise for findings with major implications for racial/ethnic inequality and (2) as an expansion of the scope of 'flight' models to test mobility models among contemporary samples of white, black, Latino, and Asian households. Results from these models indicate that white households' migration responses to minority racial concentrations are substantively similar in SIPP and PSID, with the likelihood of out-migration among whites increasing as minority shares grow, albeit weaker in SIPP than the PSID. Results for black householders are comparable across samples, with blacks demonstrating a tendency to leave Hispanic neighborhoods. Results for Hispanic households are, however, divergent between the SIPP and PSID, potentially reflecting differences in the representativeness of the samples. Lastly, the results from SIPP reveal that the mobility behaviors of Asian households are largely indifferent to neighborhood racial composition.

Contemporary patterns and issues of school segregation and white flight in U.S. metropolitan areas: towards spatial inquiries
2021
The geography of education issues has long been an under-researched area in geography literature. This article reviews studies on school segregation and white flight and emphasizes the importance of investigating these educational issues within U.S. metropolitan areas. We discuss the characteristics of school segregation and white flight as a consequence of contemporary educational policies and the increasing diversity of public school populations. In consideration of the intrinsic geographic nature of the aforementioned educational phenomena, we call for spatial social science research to explore new trends and patterns of white flight and school segregation in U.S. metropolitan contexts using advanced geospatial approaches as location-referenced educational data become increasingly available.

Not so welcome here? Modelling the impact of ethnic in-movers on the length of stay of home-owners in micro-neighbourhoods
2019
This paper considers the length of stay of home-owners with white British names in the 40% most-deprived census areas of Glasgow, Scotland. We estimate the impact of ethnically ‘other’ name-group inflows through property purchases at the micro-neighbourhood level. We use a novel longitudinal data set, constructed from the population of home-buyers recorded in all property transaction records from 2003 to 2014, from which we impute ethnicity using name-matching software. We estimate how the survival time (length of ownership) of home-owners with white British names is affected by in-migration of house-buyers from different ethnic name-groups into the micro-neighbourhood, defined as a 50 m radius around each home. Results suggest a complex set of associations between ethnically ‘other’ purchasers/in-movers (based on name groups) and duration of home-ownership for white-British named owners. The most consistent finding is for in-moving purchasers with Pakistani (primarily Muslim) names, which tend to have a relatively large accelerant effect on the moving propensity of home-owners who have white British names. This was true in areas of both high and low non-white ethnic population share. We also find evidence of nonlinearity in this relationship: the accelerant effect diminishes with each additional in-move from purchasers with Pakistani names. The name group with the largest overall accelerant effect was for in-movers with non-white Other names, which were also primarily Muslim in origin, though this effect was less consistent across models.
本文考察了苏格兰格拉斯哥40%最贫困的人口普查区中,拥有白人英国名字的房主的房屋持有时间。我们通过微观街区层面的房产购买,估计拥有“其他”种族名字的群体流入的影响。我们使用一个新的纵向数据集,该数据集是根据2003年至2014年所有房产交易记录中记录的购房者群体构建的,我们使用名称匹配软件来判断种族。我们估计的是,具有白人英国名字的房主的房屋持有时间(所有权的持有期限)如何受到具有其他种族名字的群体的购房者迁入到微观街区(定义为每个住宅周围50米半径)的影响。结果表明, “其他”种族购买者/搬入者(基于名字组)和白人英国名字所有者的房屋所有权持续时间之间存在一系列复杂关联。最一致的发现是针对有巴基斯坦(主要是穆斯林)名字的搬入型购买者,这些购买者对具有白人英国名字的房主的搬迁倾向往往具有相对较大的加速作用。在非白人种族人口比例较高和较低的地区都是如此。我们还发现这种关系非线性的证据:巴基斯坦名字购买者的搬入数量越多,加速效应越弱。具有最大总体加速效应的名字组是具有非白人名字的搬入者中,同时也是穆斯林族裔的人群,尽管这种效应在各种模型之间不太一致。

The “white-flight” phenomenon of the mid-20th century contributed to the perpetuation of residential segregation in American society. In light of recent reports of racial segregation in our healthcare system, could a contemporary “white-flight” phenomenon also exist?
The New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System was used to identify all Manhattan and Bronx residents of New York city who underwent elective cardiothoracic, colorectal, general, and vascular surgeries from 2010 to 2016. Primary outcome was borough of surgical care in relation to patient’s home borough. Multivariable analyses were performed.
White patients who reside in the Bronx are significantly more likely than racial minorities to travel into Manhattan for elective surgical care, and these differences persist across different insurance types, including Medicare.
Marked race-based differences in choice of location for elective surgical care exist in New York city. If left unchecked, these differences can contribute to furthering racial segregation within our healthcare system.

Latino Students and White Migration from School Districts, 1980-2010
2017
We use three decades of data from U.S. school districts to assess the association between Latino school-age populations and net migration of non-Latino white residents. Our results indicate that growing Latino student populations are associated with declining net migration among whites. This pattern is particularly strong in non-traditional Latino districts, where the presence of Latinos is historically recent, in districts that are spatially proximate to those with smaller Latino populations, and in districts marked by relatively low internal segregation. These findings apply primarily to whites with the closest ties to public schools: school-age children and “parent-age” adults between the ages of 30 and 49, suggesting that whites’ selective migration is linked to preferences for public schools with smaller Latino student populations.

Local Ethnic Composition and Natives' and Immigrants' Geographic Mobility in France, 1982-1999
2014
This article provides empirical results on patterns of native and immigrant geographic mobility in France. Using longitudinal data, we measure mobility from one French municipality (commune) to another over time and estimate the effect of the initial municipality's ethnic composition on the probability of moving out. These data allow us to use panel techniques to correct for biases related to selection based on geographic and individual unobservables. Our findings tend to discredit the hypothesis of a \"white flight\" pattern in residential mobility dynamics in France. Some evidence does show ethnic avoidance mechanisms in natives' relocating. We also find a strong negative and highly robust effect of co-ethnics' presence on immigrants' geographic mobility.

Popular culture in the age of white flight
2004
Los Angeles pulsed with economic vitality and demographic growth in the decades following World War II. This vividly detailed cultural history of L.A. from 1940 to 1970 traces the rise of a new suburban consciousness adopted by a generation of migrants who abandoned older American cities for Southern California's booming urban region. Eric Avila explores expressions of this new \"white identity\" in popular culture with provocative discussions of Hollywood and film noir, Dodger Stadium, Disneyland, and L.A.'s renowned freeways. These institutions not only mirrored this new culture of suburban whiteness and helped shape it, but also, as Avila argues, reveal the profound relationship between the increasingly fragmented urban landscape of Los Angeles and the rise of a new political outlook that rejected the tenets of New Deal liberalism and anticipated the emergence of the New Right. Avila examines disparate manifestations of popular culture in architecture, art, music, and more to illustrate the unfolding urban dynamics of postwar Los Angeles. He also synthesizes important currents of new research in urban history, cultural studies, and critical race theory, weaving a textured narrative about the interplay of space, cultural representation, and identity amid the westward shift of capital and culture in postwar America.

Effective environmental justice (EJ) policy requires an understanding of the economic and social forces that determine the correlation between race, income, and pollution exposure. We show how the traditional approach used in many EJ analyses cannot identify nuisance-driven residential mobility. We develop an alternative strategy that overcomes this problem and implement it using data on air toxics from Los Angeles County, California, USA. Differences in estimated willingness to pay for cleaner air across race groups support the residential mobility explanation. Our results suggest that Hispanics may dislike cancer risk but be less willing to trade other forms of consumption to avoid it. As a result, household mobility responses may work against policies designed to address inequitable siting decisions for facilities with environmental health risks.
