本文评估了新的拉美裔目的地的生育率比较模式，并使用美国社区调查 2005-2009 年微观数据文件中的汇总横截面数据建立了网关。西班牙裔生育率的变化提供了文化融合的有用指标。分析表明，拉美裔的高生育率部分是由墨西哥裔和其他新移民群体（例如非公民、英语语言能力较差的人等）推动的。然而，西班牙裔的高生育率不能完全用社会人口特征来解释，因为社会人口特征使他们面临更高的生育风险。 2005年至2009年间，西班牙裔的生育率比白人高出48%；考虑到年龄、出生地、原籍国和教育程度等关键社会特征的差异后，这一数字大约高出 25%。与之前大多数关于移民空间同化的研究结果相反，新目的地拉美裔的生育率比现有门户的生育率高出 18%。在多变量分析中，新目的地的拉美裔人在过去一年里生孩子的可能性比居住在已建立的门户地区的拉美裔人高出大约 10%。结果与对西班牙裔生育力的亚文化解释一致，并提出了有关同化的空间格局和传统聚居区之外的种族飞地形成的新问题。
This paper evaluates comparative patterns of fertility in new Hispanic destinations and established gateways using pooled cross-sectional data from the 2005–2009 microdata files of the American Community Survey. Changing Hispanic fertility provides a useful indicator of cultural incorporation. Analyses show that high fertility among Hispanics has been driven in part by the Mexican origin and other new immigrant populations (e.g., non-citizens, those with poor English language skills, etc.). However, high fertility rates among Hispanics cannot be explained entirely by sociodemographical characteristics that place them at higher risk of fertility. For 2005–2009, Hispanic fertility rates were 48 percent higher than fertility among whites; they were roughly 25 percent higher after accounting for differences in key social characteristics, such as age, nativity, country of origin, and education. Contrary to most previous findings of spatial assimilation among in-migrants, fertility rates among Hispanics in new destinations exceeded fertility in established gateways by 18 percent. In the multivariate analyses, Hispanics in new destinations were roughly 10 percent more likely to have had a child in the past year than those living in established gateways. Results are consistent with subcultural explanations of Hispanic fertility and raise new questions about the spatial patterning of assimilation and the formation of ethnic enclaves outside traditional settlement areas.
