Overview

Bridges aggregate and household-level analyses to examine racial segregation patterns, suggesting implications for understanding structural inequality.

Key Points

  • This analysis aims to explore how metropolitan-level contexts influence patterns of racial residential segregation among different racial groups.
  • Applied a multilevel meta-regression framework to analyze 25 U.S. metropolitan areas.
  • Used coefficients from previous household-level locational attainment models as dependent variables.
  • Incorporated metropolitan-level characteristics from the 2008–2012 American Community Survey and 2010 Census as predictors.
  • White–Black segregation primarily driven by group membership rather than socioeconomic resource returns.
  • Regional location affects White–Black segregation while minoritized population growth influences White–Latino and White–Asian segregation.
  • An inverse relationship was found between gaps in constants and gaps in resource returns, indicating the impact of structural inequality.
