先前的研究表明，少数民族住宅区有不成比例的可能性主办各种环境危害。一些批评者回应说，种族和危险的当代相关性可能反映了选址后少数民族的迁入，这可能是因为对住房成本的风险影响，而不是选址方面的歧视。本文探讨了不成比例的选址和少数移动在洛杉矶县的假设，通过协调道的地理和数据，在三十年的公司层面的信息，对有毒物质的存储和处置设施的初始选址日期。使用简单的t检验，logit分析，和一个新的同步模型，我们发现，不成比例的选址问题比不成比例的少数搬在样本区域。种族过渡也是选址的一个重要预测因素，这表明多种族组织在抵制新设施方面发挥了作用。
Previous research suggests that minority residential ai-eas have a disproportionate likelihood of hosting various environmental hazards. Some critics have responded that the contemporary correlation of race and hazards may reflect post-siting minority move-in, perhaps because of a risk effect on housing costs, rather than discrimination in siting. This article examines the disproportionate siting and minority move-in hypotheses in Los Angeles County by reconciling tract geography and data over three decades with firm-level information on the initial siting dates for toxic storage and disposal facilities. Using simple t-tests, logit analysis, and a novel simultaneous model, we find that disproportionate siting matters more than disproportionate minority move-in in the sample area. Racial transition is also an important predictor of siting, suggesting a role for multiracial organizing in resisting new facilities.
