三个假设试图解释美国黑人和白人之间的居住隔离的持续存在：经济差异，住房和贷款市场的歧视，以及邻里偏好。偏好假说假定两个种族都希望生活在种族同质的社区。本文通过对亚特兰大、波士顿、底特律和洛杉矶等大都市的近期访谈数据，检验了偏好假设。白人愿意搬进一个社区的意愿与居住在那里的黑人密度成反比。黑人更喜欢综合社区，但那些有大量黑人代表的社区。不同大都会的偏好差异很大，底特律是其中的极端。在其他三个大都市，黑人和白人的偏好确实有足够的重叠，为种族隔离的减少带来了希望，前提是其他因素的影响，特别是歧视，也下降了。
Three hypotheses seek to explain the persistence of residential segregation between blacks and whites in the United States: economic differentials, discrimination in housing and lending markets, and neighborhood preferenced. The preferences hypothesis posits that both races wish to live in racially homogeneous neighborhoods. This article examines the preferences hypothesis by using recent interview data from metropolitan Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, and Los Angeles.Race continues to be significant in the residential decision-making process. Whites' willingness to move into a neighborhood is inversely related to the density of blacks living there. Blacks prefer integrated neighborhoods, but ones with a substantial representation of blacks. Preferences differ significantly from one metropolis to another, with Detroit representing the extreme. In the other three metropolises, the preferences of blacks and whites do overlap sufficiently to offer hope for a decline in segregation, provided that the influence of other forces, particularly discrimination, also declines.
