1980 年至 2000 年间，按照差异指数衡量，非西班牙裔白人和黑人之间的居住隔离下降了 8.7 个百分点。这种下降如何反映社区层面稳定的种族融合还有待观察。邻里变化数据库提供了 2000 年边界内 1980 年、1990 年和 2000 年人口普查区级别的数据，这里进行的描述性分析揭示了三个发现。首先，白人与黑人种族隔离的减少是由于多种族社区的增加，而不是白人和黑人混合社区的增加。其次，种族隔离的减少似乎并不是因为多民族社区正在形成并随着时间的推移保持稳定。相反，这是由于这些社区在某个时间点的数量增加所致。最后，当明确关注混血社区的稳定性时，与十年相比，在二十年的研究中，此类社区的稳定性较差。 (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Between 1980 and 2000, residential segregation between non-Hispanic whites and blacks, as measured by the index of dissimilarity, declined by 8.7 percentage points. How this decline reflects stable racial integration at the neighborhood level remains to be seen. Using the Neighborhood Change Database, which provides 1980, 1990, and 2000 census-tract level data in 2000 boundaries, the descriptive analyses conducted here reveal three findings. First, the declines found in white-black segregation are due to increases in multiethnic neighborhoods rather than mixed white-and-black neighborhoods. Second, the decline in segregation appears not to be due to the fact that multiethnic neighborhoods are forming and remaining stable over time. Instead it is due to the increase in the number of these neighborhoods at one point in time. Finally, when focusing explicitly on the stability of mixed-race neighborhoods, such neighborhoods are less stable when examined over two decades as compared to one decade. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
