本文探讨了一个人居住的地方是否与他们对不平等和收入再分配的态度有任何联系，重点是邻里收入，密度和种族构成的相对贡献。收入较高的人在生活在更贫困的社区时，对再分配的支持率更高。利他主义水平较低的人对密度较高的社区的再分配有较高的支持。居住在种族混合社区的人平均对再分配的支持程度较高，但随着社区贫困程度的增加，这种支持对利他主义水平较低的白人的支持程度有所下降。目前的趋势维持或扩大了收入和财富不平等，反映在居住模式上，可能会破坏中长期的社会凝聚力。这可能在一定程度上被居住地族裔多样性不断增加的趋势所抵消。
This paper asks whether where someone lives bears any association with their attitudes to inequality and income redistribution, focusing on the relative contribution of neighbourhood income, density and ethnic composition. People on higher incomes showed higher support for redistribution when living in more deprived neighbourhoods. People with lower levels of altruism had higher levels of support for redistribution in neighbourhoods of higher density. People living in more ethnically mixed neighbourhoods had higher levels of support for redistribution on average, but this support declined for Whites with low levels of altruism as the deprivation of the neighbourhood increased. Current trends which sustain or extend income and wealth inequalities, reflected in patterns of residence, may undermine social cohesion in the medium- to long-term. This may be offset to some extent by trends of rising residential ethnic diversity.
