  • Title: Shifting racial hierarchies: An analysis of residential segregation among multi-racial and mono-racial groups in the United States.
    Author: Kwon R, Kposowa A.
    Journal: Popul Stud (Camb); 2017 Mar; 71(1):83-99. PubMed ID: 27871213.
    Abstract:
    Multi-racial (mixed-race) people constitute a growing percentage of the United States (US) population. The study reported in this paper used residential segregation measures as a proxy for social distance, to examine whether segregation levels of multi-racial groups differ from those of mono-racial groups in the US in 2010. First, we find that all multi-racial groups considered in the study experience lower levels of segregation at county level than their mono-racial counterparts. However, black-whites and Hispanic-whites experience higher levels of segregation than other multi-racial groups. Second, we find region and minority composition of counties are associated significantly with segregation levels for multi-racial groups, but relative income is not.
