本文利用熵指数的分解性质探讨了黑人向郊区转移与大都市隔离之间的关系。这种方法表明，大都市黑人与其他人的种族隔离的减少很大程度上是因为中心城市种族隔离的减少。郊区隔离的平均下降幅度要低得多。此外，郊区的住宅分布也解释了黑人/其他种族隔离比例不断增加的原因。 2000 年，中西部和东北部黑人/其他种族隔离的近三分之一是由黑人跨城市分布不均匀造成的。在西部，郊区内的分类是迄今为止大都市黑人与其他人隔离的最重要组成部分，而在南方，城市内的分类和郊区内的分类的重要性相对相等。
This article explores the relationship between Black shifts to the suburbs and metropolitan segregation using the decompositional properties of the entropy index. This method reveals that much of the decline in metropolitan segregation of Blacks from others is because of declining central city segregation; suburban segregation has much lower average declines. Furthermore, a growing proportion of Black/other segregation is explained by residential distributions within the suburbs. Uneven distributions of Blacks across city lines account for nearly a third of Black/other segregation in the Midwest and Northeast in 2000. In the West, within-suburban sorting is by far the most important component of metropolitan segregation of Blacks from others, while in the South, within-city sorting and within-suburb sorting are relatively equal in importance.
