本文研究了美国大都市拉美裔人口的空间同化模式。使用2000年人口普查的限制使用数据，我们计算了西班牙裔美国人按种族和出生地划分的居住隔离水平，然后估计了多变量模型，以检验群体特征与这些模式的关联。为了获得空间同化的更细致的观点，我们在隔离计算中使用了不同种族的盎格鲁人、非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人作为参考群体。我们发现，西班牙裔美国人在几代人之间经历了多种同时存在的空间同化形式：美国出生的白人、黑人和其他种族的西班牙裔美国人与盎格鲁人、非洲裔美国人和美国人的隔离程度较低。在美国出生的拉美裔人与在外国出生的拉美裔人不同。我们发现了一些例外，表明种族继续影响着种族隔离，尽管与同化相关的因素普遍存在：拉美裔黑人与盎格鲁人的隔离程度很高，而在美国出生的拉美裔黑人与其他拉美裔群体的隔离程度并不比在外国出生的拉美裔黑人少。
This article investigates patterns of spatial assimilation of Hispanics in U.S. metropolitan areas. Using restricted-use data from the 2000 Census, we calculate Hispanics' levels of residential segregation by race and nativity and then estimate multivariate models to examine the association of group characteristics with these patterns. To obtain a more nuanced view of spatial assimilation, we use alternative reference groups in the segregation calculations-Anglos, African Americans, and Hispanics not of the same race. We find that Hispanics experience multiple and concurrent forms of spatial assimilation across generations: U.S.-born White, Black, and other-race Hispanics tend to be less segregated from Anglos, African Americans, and US.-born Hispanics not of the same race than are the foreign-born of the respective groups. We find some exceptions, suggesting that race continues to influence segregation despite the general strength of assimilation-related factors: Black Hispanics display high levels of segregation from Anglos, and U.S.-born Black Hispanics are no less segregated from other Hispanic groups than are their foreign-born counterparts.
