传统的邻里种族变迁解释考虑的是是什么推动了族群人口的差异增长，而不考虑家庭构成。我们通过使用2001年、2011年和2021年英格兰和威尔士社区和家庭的一致人口普查数据来分析混合种族家庭与社区种族多样性之间的联系，从而丰富了这些非家庭方法。我们采用种族多样性的邻里类型学，将邻里划分为低或中等多样性，或高多样性，其中没有单一的种族群体占多数。我们特别关注白人占多数和高度多样化的社区，因为前者在英格兰和威尔士的住宅空间中占主导地位，因为它们是向高度多样化社区过渡的主要来源。混合种族家庭已经成为英格兰和威尔士种族多样化的一个日益重要的特征；到2021年，近15%的多人家庭是混合家庭，比2011年的12%和2001年的9%有所增长。我们发现，较高的社区种族多样性水平与较高的混合种族家庭比例相关。例如，在高多样性社区，2021年约有30%的多人家庭（近25万户家庭）是种族混合的。中等多样性白人社区的家庭混合水平明显高于低多样性白人社区。社区多样化也是如此。种族多元化程度越高的社区，混合种族家庭的比例通常越高。稳定适度多样化的白人社区也有较高比例的混合家庭。关注社区中的个人的社区过渡研究可能会错过在家庭亲密空间中运作的重要过程。包括这种中间尺度的分析增加了我们对邻里种族混合和融合过程的理解。
Conventional explanations of neighbourhood ethnic transitions consider what drives differential growth in ethnic group populations without regard to household composition. We enrich these nonhousehold approaches by using consistent Census data on neighbourhoods and households for England and Wales for 2001, 2011 and 2021 to analyse connections between mixed‐ethnicity households and neighbourhood ethnic diversity. We employ a neighbourhood typology of ethnic diversity that identifies neighbourhoods as either low‐ or moderate‐diversity, or high‐diversity, where no single ethnic group is in the majority. We focus particularly on White‐majority and highly diverse neighbourhoods given the dominance of the former in residential spaces in England and Wales, and because they are the principal source of transitions to highly diverse neighbourhoods. Mixed‐ethnicity households have become an increasingly important feature of the ethnic diversification of England and Wales; by 2021, almost 15% of multiperson households were mixed, a growth from 12% in 2011 and 9% in 2001. We find that higher levels of neighbourhood ethnic diversity are associated with higher shares of mixed‐ethnicity households. In high‐diversity neighbourhoods, for example, around 30% of multiperson households (nearly a quarter of a million households) were ethnically mixed in 2021. Levels of household mixing in moderate‐diversity White neighbourhoods were considerably higher than in low‐diversity White neighbourhoods. The same is found for diversifying neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods that become more ethnically diverse were typically home to higher rates of mixed‐ethnicity households. Stably moderately diverse White neighbourhoods also had a higher proportion of mixed households. Studies of neighbourhood transition that focus on individuals in neighbourhoods may be missing important processes operating in the intimate spaces of the home. Including this intermediate scale of analysis adds to our understanding of neighbourhood ethnic mixing and processes of integration.
